Total vapour

If the total pressure of the vapour at constant temperature is represented as a function of the compositions of the two phases, the p-liquid and p-vapour curves are obtained. The p-liquid curves—that is, the curves representing the total vapour pressures of liquid binary mixtures as functions of the composition of the liquid phase—are most important they are usually referred to simply as the vapour-pressure curves of the mixture. Each curve is an isotherm. 

During isothermal increase of volume of a vapour standing in stable equilibrium ivith a liquid mixture, the total vapour pressure either decreases or remains unchanged. 

The whole process now commences anew, and the result is a never-ending circulation of matter round the tube, i.e., a perpetual motion, which is impossible. Hence the partial pressures of both components are equal over a and ft, and therefore also is their sum, i.e., the total vapour pressure.

A number of techniques are based on direct measurement of the total vapour pressure in equilibrium with a compound at a given temperature, i.e. equilibration methods. The most usual methods are based on the use of pressure gauges covering pressures from 10-7 to 100 kPa [93], Methods based on thermogravimetric determination of the mass of the vapour [94] and on atomic absorption spectroscopy have also been reported [95],... 

If we know the mole fraction of a liquid i (via Equation (5.11)) and the vapour pressures of the pure liquids pf, then we can ascertain the total vapour pressure of the gaseous mixture hovering at equilibrium above the liquid. 

The extreme mole fractions, 0 and 1, at either end of the graph relate to pure petrol (x = 0) and pure benzene (x = 1) respectively. The mole fractions between these values represent mixtures of the two. The solid, bold line represents the total mole fraction while the dashed lines represent the vapour pressures of the two constituent vapours. It is clear that the sum of the two dashed lines equals the bold line, and represents another way of saying Dalton s law the total vapour pressure above a mixture of liquids is the sum of the individual vapour pressures. 

From Dalton s law, the total vapour pressure is simply the sum of the individual vapour pressures ... 

The simplest example of batch distillation is a single stage, differential distillation, starting with a still pot, initially full, heated at a constant rate. In this process the vapour formed on boiling the liquid is removed at once from the system. Since this vapour is richer in the more volatile component than the liquid, it follows that the liquid remaining becomes steadily weaker in this component, with the result that the composition of the product progressively alters. Thus, whilst the vapour formed over a short period is in equilibrium with the liquid, the total vapour formed is not in equilibrium with the residual liquid. At the end of the process the liquid which has not been vaporised is removed as the bottom product. The analysis of this process was first proposed by Rayleigh(24).

If the reactor contains two immiscible liquid phases, the calculation of vapour pressure in the reactor needs toitake account of this. For a completely immiscible system, the total vapour pressure will be given by the sum of the vapour pressures of each phase.. j... 

In order to use the sizing method, the reactor, void fraction, aD, at which total vapour/ liquid disengagement is expected at the maximum accumulated pressure, must first be evaluated. This may be done by level swell calculation (see Annex 3) or by small-scale experiment with the same vapour superficial velocity as will occur at plant-scale (see Annex 2). Equation (A5.7)can then be used to find the relief area ... 

The reactor volume is 2.0 m3 and the charge is 793 kg. The reacting system has been shown not to be inherently foamy (see Annex 2). Total vapour/ liquid disengagement is expected at a void fraction of 0.9. Data which vary with pressure, obtained from physical property correlations, are tabulated below ... 

Table XXV.—The Total Vapour Pressure op Aqueous Solutions op Ammonia at Different Temperatures and Concentrations.

The vapour pressures of all lanthanide trifluorides have been measured, including P111F3. Various techniques have been used, which can be divided in indirect techniques (effusion and boiling point methods) which provide accurate data for the total vapour pressure, and direct mass spectrometric techniques, which are less precise, particularly in case of quadrupole mass spectrometry, but give information on the vapour composition and the presence of dimeric or polymeric molecules or dissociation products. 

As was already discussed in the previous sections, dimeric molecules contribute significantly (up to 10%) to the total vapour pressure of the lanthanide trihalides. However, experimental information is only available for a few systems, which is often highly uncertain. As a result it is difficult to predict trends in the lanthanide series or estimate unknown values. 

Let s assume A is more volatile than B i.e., PA> Pg. Consider an arbitrary composition Na (Refer to the following figure.). P is die total vapour pressure which is in equilibrium with the liquid solution of composition NK. Now a question arises as to how the fraction of A in the vapour phase (PA /P) is related to the fraction of A in the liquid phase (A ). To derive a quantitative relationship, we need to make use of the last equation ... 

The vapour pressure of an ideal binary solution of two components A and B is shown in Fig. 6. It is clear from the graph that the curve of the partial pressure of each component against its mole fraction in the solution is a straight line and the total vapour pressure of the solution for a given concen-... 

Type III. Solutions of this type show large negative deviations and the total vapour pressure curve dips to a minimum, for some of the concentrations. The total vapour pressure of the mixture may be below the vapour pressure of either of the two pure constituents as shown in figure (10). Mixture of acetone-chloroform is a system which belongs to this type.

It is observed that if now a second involatile component B (often in the form of a solid) is added to the liquid solvent so as to dissolve and form a liquid mixture (Figure 32.3(c)) then the new vapour pressure, P, is observed to be lower than the vapour pressure, P = Psat experienced over the pure liquid A (i.e. P < P ) (Figure 32.4(b)). It should be noted also that this new vapour pressure, although over the mixture, results entirely from the volatility exhibited by the solvent molecules (since the second involatile component exerts no vapour pressure itself (i.e. P = 0) and so makes no contribution whatsoever to the total vapour pressure over the mixture. 

A molecules all exerting a contribution to the total vapour pressure. 

Involatile B molecules represented by O exerting no contribution to the vapour pressure diminish the total vapour pressure exerted by the mixture. 

Equation (32.8) is known as Raoult s Law which simply states that the total vapour pressure, P, over a binary liquid mixture containing an involatile component B is equal to the vapour pressure, P, exerted by the pure volatile component A multiplied by its mole fraction, xA, present in the solution. 

Figure 33.1(c) sketches a model of the surface of the liquid mixture of liquids A and B. The relative numbers of each type of liquid molecule (A or B) on the surface will be proportional to xA and xb respectively. Since the vapour pressure exerted when there are no B molecules present (i.e. in pure liquid A) is P then having B molecules present reduces the ability of A molecules to return the full vapour pressure P . Since the proportion of liquid A is xA then the partial vapour pressure returned will be reduced to xA.P. For B molecules a similar argument leads to the conclusion that a partial vapour pressure xB.P should arise from xb molecules of B when co-existent withxA molecules of A within the liquid phase. The total vapour pressure, P, is given by equation (33.3). Thus, Raoult s Law, in the form of the latter equation, is rationalised for this system of two liquids.
