Question
**Vapor Pressure Determination for CCl₄ and C₂HCl₃**

**Problem Statement:**

The vapor pressures of carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄, denoted as component A) and trichloroethylene (C₂HCl₃, denoted as component B) between temperatures T = 350 K and 360 K can be determined empirically by the following formulas:

\[ \ln\left(\frac{P_A^*}{1 \text{ bar}}\right) = 9.2199 - \frac{2790.78}{T - 46.75} \]

\[ \ln\left(\frac{P_B^*}{1 \text{ bar}}\right) = 8.3922 - \frac{2345.4}{T - 80.45} \]

where \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin (K), and the vapor pressures are expressed in bars.

**Task:**

Assuming CCl₄ and C₂HCl₃ form an ideal solution in this temperature range and in all proportions, find the mole fraction of CCl₄ (component A) in both the liquid and vapor phases at T = 355 K, with an ambient pressure of 1.0 bar.

**Instructions and Explanation:**

- **Empirical Equations for Vapor Pressures:** 
  - The equations relate the natural logarithm of the pressure ratio to temperature for each component of the mixture. For component A (CCl₄), the equation involves constants 9.2199 and 2790.78, and a temperature correction of 46.75. For component B (C₂HCl₃), the constants are 8.3922 and 2345.4, with a temperature correction of 80.45.
  
- **Ideal Solution Assumption:**
  - An ideal solution implies that the interactions between different molecules are similar to those between like molecules, allowing the application of Raoult's Law.

- **Calculation Objectives:**
  - Determine vapor pressures using the given empirical formulas.
  - Calculate mole fractions in both phases considering the given temperature and total pressure.

**Note:** This calculation will help in understanding how the vapor-liquid equilibrium is influenced by temperature and composition under ideal conditions.
