    Sample Problem #3:: Water Benzene

    Uploaded by

    Grazel MD
    A mixture of 50 gmol benzene and 50 gmol water is boiling at 101.32 kPa. The boiling point and composition of the vapor must be determined. Using vapor pressure data for the pure components, a graph of temperature vs vapor pressure is plotted. The graph shows that at a total pressure of 760 mm Hg, the boiling point is 68.5°C. The vapor pressure of benzene (530 mm Hg) is greater than that of water (230 mm Hg) so benzene will be the first component completely removed from the still.

    Sample Problem #3:

    A mixture of 50 g mol of liquid benzene and 50 g mol of water is boiling at 101.32 kPa pressure. Liquid
    benzene is immiscible in water. Determine the boiling point of the mixture and the composition of the
    vapor. Which component will first be removed completely from the still? Vapor-pressure data for the
    pure components are as follows:

    Temperature Pwater Pbenzene


    K °C (mm Hg) (mm Hg)
    308.5 35.3 43 150
    325.9 52.7 106 300
    345.8 72.6 261 600
    353.3 80.1 356 760

    Given:

    Vapors
    Ptotal = 760 mm Hg

    50 gmol water
    50 gmol benzene

    Required: boiling temperature and which component is completely removed first

    Solution:

    Get Ptotal = Pwater + Pbenzene:

    Temperature Pwater Pbenzene Ptotal


    K °C (mm Hg) (mm Hg) (mm Hg)
    308.5 35.3 150 43 193
    325.9 52.7 300 106 406
    345.8 72.6 600 261 861
    353.3 80.1 760 356 1116
    Plot temperature vs vapor pressure:

    90

    80 water benzene total

    temperature, deg C
    70
    t = 68.5°C

    60

    50

    40

    30 230 530 760


    0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200
    pressure, mm Hg

    From the plot, at Ptotal = 760 mm Hg:

    boiling temperature = 68.5°C


    Pwater = 230 mm Hg
    Pbenzene = 530 mm Hg

    Because Pbenzene (=530 mm Hg) > Pwater (=230 mm Hg), benzene will be the component that will be
    completely removed first.

    Answers: t = 68.5°C and benzene
