how to calculate mole fraction for a compound
N_A_= moles of A/ (moles of A+moles of B)
A solution of two volatile compounds A and B. How do we determine the vapor pressure of A and B components and what would be the boiling point. The two compounds differ in boiling points > 100 C
Since they are different by nearly 100, the vapor phase would be nearly pure A. Since the compounds differ in boiling points by 100C the liquid mixture can be separated by simple distillation. Almost all of A would vaporize before B. This means that you can catch all of A's vapor and then cool it separate from B to get pretty much pure A and B. In this case you only have to do it once
We have a mixture of compounds A and B. Compound A has a normal boiling point of 145 degrees Celcius. Compound B is a naturally occurring substance with a high molecular weight and is very nonvolatile (extremely high boiling point). It decomposes at 60C. If you want to separate the compound A from the compound B by evaporating A and leaving a pure compound B in the condensed phase, how would you accomplish this?
To solve this problem, the evaporation will have to be realized under "reduced pressure" using vacuum distillation. Using this technique, the boiling point of compound A can be attained at lower total pressure and thus a lower temperature.

We have a mixture of compounds A and B. Compound A has a normal boiling point of 145 degrees Celcius. Compound B is a naturally occurring substance with a high molecular weight and is very nonvolatile (extremely high boiling point). It decomposes at 60C. How do we estimate the pressure (level of vacuum) which would have to be established in order to reduce the boiling point of compound A under 60C?q
Such an estimate can be obtained from use of a vapor pressure-temperature nomograph. For a compound that boils at 145C we can lower its bp by applying a vaccum to the system. Therefore at 55mm pressure (system) compound A will boil at 60C. If the pressure is lowered to 5mm compound A will boil at 10C and therefore compound B could be isolated after the evaporation of A without decomposition.
What can be said about azeotropes distillation?
The distillation can be purified only along the lines to the right or to the left of the azeotropic point. No amount of distillation can make the distillate or the residue arrive on the opposite side of the azeotrope from the original mixture. For maximum boiling points you can at least purify the compounds by traveling to right or eft of the azeotrope, for minimum boiling every step that you take in the distillation process brings you closer and closer to the azeotrope
