Question
Styrene is manufactured by catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene followed by vacuum distillation to separate styrene from unreacted ethylbenzene. Typical feed conditions for an industrial distillation unit are 77°C (350.6 K) and 100 torr (13.33 kPa). Based on the properties of these substances, and assuming that the hypothesis of ideal gas and ideal liquid solution are suitable for this system at low pressure, estimate the values of the equilibrium ratios K for each component and the relative volatilit

She carries out the following experiment to do this: She puts 20.0 grams of water in her empty calorimeter and it is allowed to stabilize at a temperature of 25.0ºC. She then adds 35.586 grams of water at a temperature of 83ºC to the calorimeter. After a few minutes the final temperature of the calorimeter stabilizes at 47.8ºC.
