A concentrated binary solution containing mostly species 2 (but x2 ≠ 1) is in equilib- rium with a vapor phase containing both species 1 and 2. The pressure of this two- phase system is 1 bar; the temperature is 25°C. At this temperature, 1 = 200 bar and P2sat = 0.10 bar. Determine good estimates of x1 and y1. State and justify all assumptions.

Answer :

Answer:

x1= 4.5 × 10^-3, y1= 0.9

Explanation:

A binary solution having two species is in equilibrium in a vapor phase comprising of species 1 and 2

Take the basis as the pressure of the 2 phase system is 1 bar. The assumption are as follows:

1. The vapor phase is ideal at pressure of 1 bar

2. Henry's law apply to dilute solution only.

3. Raoult's law apply to concentrated solution only.

Where,

Henry's constant for species 1 H= 200bar

Saturation vapor pressure of species 2, P2sat= 0.10bar

Temperature = 25°C= 298.15k

Apply Henry's law for species 1

y1P= H1x1...... equation 1

y1= mole fraction of species 1 in vapor phase.

P= Total pressure of the system

x1= mole fraction of species 1 in liquid phase.

Apply Raoult's law for species 2

y2P= P2satx2...... equation 2

From the 2 equations above

P=H1x1 + P2satx2

200bar= H1

0.10= P2sat

1 bar= P

Hence,

P=H1x1 + (1 - x1) P2sat

1bar= 200bar × x1 + (1 - x1) 0.10bar

x1= 4.5 × 10^-3

The mole fraction of species 1 in liquid phase is 4.5 × 10^-3

To get y, substitute x1=4.5 × 10^-3 in equation 1

y × 1 bar = 200bar × 4.5 × 10^-3

y1= 0.9

The mole fraction of species 1 in vapor phase is 0.9

  • y₁= 0.9

What is Binary solution?

A binary solution having two species is in equilibrium in a vapor phase comprising of species 1 and 2

If we consider the pressure of the 2 phase system is 1 bar.

The assumption are as follows:

  • The vapor phase is ideal at pressure of 1 bar.
  • Henry's law apply to dilute solution only.
  • Raoult's law apply to concentrated solution only.

Where, these values are given:

Henry's constant for species 1 H= 200bar

Temperature = 25°C= 298.15K

P₂sat= 0.10 bar

Apply Henry's law for species 1

y₁P= H₁x₁.......... (i)

where y₁= mole fraction of species 1 in vapor phase, P= Total pressure of the system  ,x₁= mole fraction of species 1 in liquid phase.

Apply Raoult's law for species 2

y₂P= P₂sat. x₂...........(ii)

From (i) and (ii)

P=H₁x₁ + P₂sat. x₂

200bar= H₁

0.10= P₂sat

1 bar= P

Hence,

P=H₁x₁ + (1 - x₁) P₂sat

1bar= 200bar × x₁ + (1 - x₁) 0.10bar

x₁= [tex]4.5 * 10^{-3}[/tex]

The mole fraction of species 1 in liquid phase is [tex]4.5 * 10^{-3}[/tex]

To get y, substitute x₁=[tex]4.5 * 10^{-3}[/tex] in (i)

y × 1 bar = 200bar × [tex]4.5 * 10^{-3}[/tex]

y₁= 0.9

The mole fraction of species 1 in vapor phase is 0.9.
