Listed below are the constants in three activity-coefficientequations: Wilson's, Margules' and van Laar's, for the systemethanol-water. In addition, the vapor-liquid equilibria at onepressure are tabulated.
a) Using the Wilson equation and the constants listed below,find the bubble pressure and vapor composition for a mixture of 30mol% ethanol at 90 C
b) Using the Wilson equation, find the dew pressure andcomposition for a mixture of 80 mol% ethanol at 110 C
c) Using the Wilson equation, find the bubble temperature andcomposition for a mixture of 20% ethanol at 3.0 bar
d) Using the Wilson equation, find the dew temperature andcomposition for a mixture of 40% ethanol at 3.0 bar
