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