Acetone-methanol system

Q1. A liquid vapor equilibrium experiment is conducted at 101.32 kPa using binary mixture with 30 mole% acetone (A) and 70 mole% methanol (B). Table Q1 shows the boiling point-equiibrium data. Assuming Raoults and Daltons laws apply. Table Q1: Boiling point-equiibrium data of acetone-methanol system at 101.32 kPa. (Source of Data: McCabe, W.L., Smith, J.C., and Harriott, P. (2005).
