3.1 How many phase rule variables must be specified to fix the thermodynamic state of
each of the following systems?

(a) A sealed flask containing liquid ethanol-water mixture in equilibrium with its vapor.
F=2-2+2=2

(b) A sealed flask containing a liquid ethanol-water mixture in equilibrium with its
vapor and nitrogen.
F=2-2+3=3

(c) A sealed flask containing ethanol, toluene, and water a two liquid phases plus
vapor.
F=2-3+3=2

3.3 A closed, nonreactive system contains species 1 and 2 in vapor/liquid equilibrium.

Species 2 is a very light gas, essentially insoluble in the liquid phase. The vapor phase
contains both species 1 and 2. Some additional moles of species 2 are added to the
system, which is then restored to its initial T and P. As a result of the process, does the
total number of moles of liquid increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?

Los estados de la regla de fase F = 2-π + N = 2-2 + 2 = 2. La especificación de T y P fija el

estado intensivo del sistema, por lo que las composiciones de fase también son fijas. Dado
que la fase líquida es una especie pura 1, una adición de la especie 2 debe aumentar su
cantidad en la fase de vapor. Sin embargo, como las composiciones de fase permanecen
fijas, algunos moles líquidos se evaporan para restaurar las composiciones de la fase de
vapor inicial, disminuyendo así el número total de moles de líquido.

3.59 A 0.35 m3 vessel is used to store liquid propane at its vapor pressure. Safety
considerations dictate that at a temperature of 320K the liquid must occupy no more
than 80% of the total volume of the vessel. For these conditions, determine the mass of
vapor and the mass of liquid in the vessel. At 320K the vapor pressure of propane is 16
bar.
