Their saturation pressures are 688 and 465 kpa respectively


A mixture of methanol (a) and ethyl acetate (b) exhibits an azeotrope at 55°C. Their saturation pressures are 68.8 and 46.5 kPa, respectively. The liquid-phase nonideality can be described by the two-suffix Margules equation, with A 5 2900 J/mol. What is the pressure and composition of the azeotrope? Does this mixture form a maximum-boiling azeotrope or a minimum-boiling azeotrope? Explain.
