Consider a closed vessel initially containing 1 mol of pure ethyl acetate at 70°c and 86 kpa. imagine that pure ethanol is slowly added at constant temperature and pressure until the vessel contains 1 mol ethyl acetate and 9 mol ethanol. describe the evolution of phases and phase compositions during this process. comment on the practical feasibility of carrying out such a process. what sort of device would be required? how would the total system volume change during this process? at what composition would the system volume reach its maximum value?

i believe the answer is true.

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
