Example 2.18:  Benzene (A) is in equilibrium with 2,3,4-trimethylpentane (B).  The following data apply:

pT = 201.74 mmHg, T = 55 °C,

PA = 327.05 mm Hg, PB = 178.08 mm Hg,

xA = 0.0819, yA = 0.1869

Calculate the activity coefficient of A and B and excess Gibbs energy.

 

Solution

$                 Activity coefficient of benzene, γA (Equation 2.59)

 

$                 Activity coefficient of 2,3,4-trimethylpentane (Equation 2.59)

 

$                 Excess free energy, Gex (Equation 2.58)
