Consider a binary mixture of methyl ethyl ketone (component 1) and toluene (component 2). At 323 K the activity coefficients γ1 and γ2 are given by
ln γ1=x2212+4ψ2x1)
ln γ2=x1212-4ψ2x2)
where x1 and x2 are the mole fractions in the liquid mixture, and ψ1 and ψ2 are parameters independent of composition. At the same temperature, the infinite dilution activity coefficients, γ1 and γ2 are given by lnγ1=0.4 and lnγ2=0.2. The vapour pressures of methyl ethyl ketone and toluene at 323 K are 36.9 and 12.3 kPa respectively. Assuming that the vapour phase is ideal, the equilibrium pressure (in kPa) of a liquid mixture containing 90 mol % toluene is
