CHEMICAL ENERGY BALANCE - EXAMPLE 11.5 : According to Margules Equation, P = x(1) p(1) g(1) + x(2) p(2) g(2) for a two-component mixture where P is bubble pressure, x is mole fraction, p is saturation pressure, g is constant given by ln g(1) = x(2) A x(2). Find the value of A as a constant when P = 1.08 bar, p(1) = 0.82 bar, p(2) = 1.93 bar in a 50 : 50 mole fraction mixture. Estimate the pressure required to completely liquefy the 30 : 70 mixture using the same equation, by proving P = 1.39 bar. Take note that ln g(2) = x(1) A x(1), ln g(1) = x(2) A x(2).

CHEMICAL ENERGY BALANCE - ANSWER 11.5 : Let x(1) = x(2) = 0.5 for 50 : 50 mole fraction mixture, then P = x(1) p(1) g(1) + x(2) p(2) g(2) or 1.08 = 0.5 (0.82) exp [ (0.5) A (0.5) ] + 0.5 (1.93) exp [ (0.5) A (0.5) ]. Then exp [ (0.5) A (0.5) ] = 1.08 / [ 0.5 (0.82 + 1.93) ] = 0.785, A = - 0.97. P for 30 : 70 mixture is P = x(1) p(1) g(1) + x(2) p(2) g(2) = (0.3) (0.82) exp [ (-0.97) (0.7) (0.7) ] + (0.7) (1.93) exp [ (-0.97) (0.3) (0.3) ] = 1.39 bar (proven) where g(1) = exp [ A x(2) x(2) ], g(2) = exp [ A x(1) x(1) ].
