7.30 (a) Assume the two-suffix Margules equation represents the excess Gibbs energy data well. Therefore, for any of the data points in the provided graph, the following relationship should be true g = Axxo To calculate the activity coefficients of cyclohexane, we can use the following equations Ax? =RTInyy, A)\2 =e A 7a = exp A i. 343 [Kk] (28[kXo.75) 72 = &xp| 7 =1.23 (i. 343(K) YP =1.45 8 of ) From Equation 7.75: 58where fae Calculate the saturation pressure of cyclohexane using data from Appendix A.1: et eno gn05~ 2766.63, ] 343 -50.50. P3 =0.722 bar Therefore, H y =(1.45)(0.722 [bar) H 7 =1.05 [bar] © Since A>0, g* is always greater than one. Therefore, like interactions are stronger. 59
