A mixture of 100 mol containing 60 mol% n-pentane and 40 mol% n-heptane is vaporized at 101.325 kPa abs pressure until 40 mol of vapor and 60 mol of liquid in equilibrium with each other are produced. This occurs in a single-stage system and the vapor and liquid are kept in contact with each other until the vaporization is complete. Calculate the composition of the vapor and liquid. The equilibrium data are as follows, where x and y aremole fractions of n-pentane.
