146 5 SIMPLEMIXTURES �e abundance of the two phases is therefore equal. P5C.8 �e relationship between the total pressure p and yA is given in [5C.5–167] p = p∗Ap ∗ B p∗A + (p∗B − p∗A)yA Division by p∗A, and then division of the numerator and denominator of the fraction on the right by p∗B gives the required form p p∗A = p∗B p∗A + (p∗B − p∗A)yA = 1 (p∗A/p∗B) + (1 − p∗A/p∗B)yA �e plot is shown in Fig. 5.15. 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 yA p/ p∗ A (p∗A/p∗B) = 2 (p∗A/p∗B) = 4 (p∗A/p∗B) = 30 Figure 5.15 P5C.10 �e values of xA at which ∆mixG is a minimum are found by solving [5C.7–174] ln xA 1 − xA + ξ(1 − 2xA) = 0 (5.6) �is equation is rearranged to give an expression for ξ, which is plotted in Fig. 5.16 ξ = ln(xA/[1 − xA]) 2xA − 1 �e way to interpret this graph is to choose a value for ξ and then read across to locate the minima. If ξ 2 there are two values of xA at which the plotted function intersects a horizontal line at a given value of ξ.�e larger ξ becomes the close one intersection (position of a minimum) moves towards xA = 0 and the other towards xA = 1.
