Phenol and water form non-ideal liquid mixtures. When 7.32 g of phenol and 7.95 g of water are mixed together at 60 °C they form two immiscible liquid phases with mole fractions of phenol of 0.042 and 0.161. (i) Calculate the overall mole fraction of phenol in the mixture. (ii) Use the lever rule to determine the relative amounts of the two phases.
