Question

a non ideal mixture of components A and B exhibits an azeotrope at the composition Xa = Ya = 0.7. At this composition component A has an activity coefficient of 1.24 while component B has an activity coefficient of 3.24/ for computational simplicity, we will assume that the activity coefficients are well-fit by the single-costant Margules equations given.

a) Find the activity coefficients for components A and B when these components are present in a nequimolar mixture.

b)at 80 degrees C, pure component A has a saturation pressure oof 600 torr while pure component B has a saturation pressure of 400 torr. What will be the vapor pressure of the equimolar mixture of A and B described in part a) at 80 degrees C?
