Measures of composition
Mass or mole fraction is defined as the ratio of mass or number
of moles of a particular chemical species in a mixture or solution
to the total mass or number of moles of mixture or solution.

Phase Rule in VLE: Ideal Binary Mixtures
(General Case)
For a two phase (=2), binary system (N=2):
F = 2- 2 + 2 = 2
Therefore, for the binary case, two intensive variables must be
specified to fix the state of the system.

Simple Models For VLE
The preceding section describes what is
observed through experiment.
When thermodynamics is applied to
vapor/liquid equilibrium, the goal is to
find by calculation the temperatures,
pressures, and compositions of phases in
equilibrium.

Consider a system comprising of two chemical species
(N=2), the phase rule becomes
F = 2- + N = 2- + 2 =4 -
Because there must at least one phase ( = 1),
maximum number of phase rule variables = 3
P, T and one mole (or mass) fraction.

SIMPLE MODELS FOR
VAPOR/LIQUID EQUILIBRIUM
VLE calculation provides information on temperatures, pressures,
and compositions of phases in equilibrium.
Two simplest models, Raoult’s law and Henry’s law are used to
predict the behavior of systems in vapor liquid equilibrium.
Raoult’s Law
Assumption
◦ Vapour phase is an ideal gas
◦ Liquid phase is an ideal solution
23
Mathematical expression reflecting the two
assumptions above is expressed quantitatively in
Raoult’s law as:
(10.1)
24
Dewpoint and Bubblepoint
Calculations with Raoult’s Law
Bubble point is the point at which the first drop of a liquid
mixture begins to evaporate (the first bubble of vapor appears).
Dew point is the point at which the first drop of a gas mixture
begins to condense (the last drops of liquid disappear).
25
Application of Raoult’s law:
Because iyi = 1, eq. (10.1) may be summed over all species to yield
P xi Pi sat
i (10.2)
This equation applied in bubblepoint calculations, where the vapor phase
compositions are unknown.
For a binary system with x2 = 1-x1,
P P2 sat P1sat P2sat x1
A plot of P vs. x1 at constant temperature is a straight line connecting
P2sat at x1 = 0 with P1sat at x1 = 1.
Equation (10.1) may also be solved for xi and summed over all species.
With ixi = 1, this yields
