As reported in US Patent 4203923, cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material in the production of nylon intermediates. The separation and purification section for cyclohexanone production usually done through a series of distillation units. Liquid mixture of cyclohexanone (1) and phenol (2) was reported to exist in equilibrium with its vapor at 144 °C (417.15K). The system conforms closely to Modified Raoult’s Law. The mixture forms azeotrope at composition of 0.695. (Refer Table) (a) Provide a sketch that clearly shows that the system exhibits azeotrope (α12)x1=0 = P1sat eA / P2sat and (α12)x1=1 = P1sat / P2sat eA (b) State Paz and sketch a P-xy diagram of the system
