A popular commercial solvent mixture is made up of several aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. You are tasked with estimating its properties assuming toluene is the main component. You are expected to solve this problem in two ways, a) using the Lee-Kesler diagrams to estimate the following quantities. A) The molar volume at the critical point. B) The molar volume in the liquid phase at T = 110C and P = 10 bar. C) The molar volume in the vapor phase at T = 310C and P = 20 bar. D) The change in molar enthalpy when toluene is heated and compressed from T = 110C and P = 10 bar to T = 310 C and P = 20 bar. Note: you may use PREOS and other Excel spreadsheets, but only as a calculator
