Chapter 7 : Vapour-Liquid Equilibria

Section 8 :Henry’s Law
 

Example 7.8

A concentrated binary solution containing mostly species is in equilibrium with a vapor phase containing both species 1 and 2. The pressure of this two-phase system is 1 bar; the temperature is 298.0K. Determine from the following data good estimates of x1 and y1. H1 = 200 bar; = 0.10 bar.

= 200 bar, = 0.1 bar, = 1 bar
Assume that vapor phase is ideal at  = 1 bar. Assume Lewis - Randall rule applies to concentrated species and Henry’s law to dilute species then:
  And  
Now  
Or   Solving gives,  and
