Question

A piston/cylinder system contains two components (A and B) in the vapor phase at 1 bar. In the liquid phase, component A and B are immiscible. Plot the partial pressure of component A as a function of the total pressure as the total pressure increases to 12 bar. Initially the vapor mole fraction of component A is 0.4. The vapor (saturation) pressure is at 2 bar for component A and 4 bar for component B. Include scales on the x and y axes, and explain the reason for the shape of your plot.

Total pressure on the x-axis and partial pressure on the y-axis.
