calculate the temperature and composition of the first drew created from a saturated vapor mixture of o-xylene and p-xylene containing 45 percent o-xylene at 200 kpa. the mixture of o-xylene and p-xylene may be considered as idea
Given percentage of o-Xylene = 45%
Composition of o-xylene = 45/100 = 0.45
Percentage of p-Xylene = 100 - 45 = 55%
Composition of p-xylene = 55/100 = 0.55
Pressure of O-Xylene = 200 kpa
According to:
Total pressure of mixture:
Po-xylene = XComposition of 0-xylene * PTotal
200 = 0.45*Ptotal
PTotal = 200/0.45
=444.4 kpa
Molefraction of o-xylene = (composition of o-xylene*Ptotal)/(Po-xylene)
= (0.45*444.4)/200
= 0.99
Vapour pressure of p-xylene:
Pp-xylene = composition of p-xylene*PTotal
= (0.55*444.4)
=244.4 kpa
Molefraction of p-xylene = (composition of p-xylene*Ptotal)/(Pp-xylene)
= (0.55*444.4)/244.4
= 0.99
Using following equation will get the temperatures for components of mixture:
ln(P2/P1) = ∆Hvap/R(1/T1-1/T2)
