5.7. Hermsen and Prausnitz [Chem. Eng. Sci., 18, 485 (1963)] show that the mixture benzene-
cyclopentane does not form a regular solution. Confirm this by computing liquid phase activity
coefficients for this system at 35C, over the entire composition range, from regular solution theory,
with and without the Flory-Huggins correction, and prepare a plot of your results similar to Fig. 5.1,
compared to the following experimental values of Hermsen and Prausnitz.

5.10. Use (5-23) with regular solution theory to predict K-values for the n-octane-ethylbenzene
system at 270.3 F and 1 atm with experimental compositions of xC8 = 0.201 and yC8 = 0.275 [Ind.
Eng. Chem., 47, 293 (1955)]. Compare your results with the experiemental values computed from
the experimental compositions.

5.12. From the experimental infinite-dilution activity coefficients given in Problem 5.7 for the
benzene-cyclopentane system, calculate the constants in the Van Laar equation. With these
constants, use the Van Laar equation to compute the activity coefficients over the entire range of
compositions and compare them in a plot like Fig. 5.1 with the experimental points of Problem 5.7.

5.13. From the azeotropic composition for the benzene-cyclopentane system in Problem 5.7,
calculate the constants in the Van Laar equation. With these constants, use the Van Laar equation
to compute the activity coefficients over the entire range of compositions and compare them in a
plot like Fig. 5.1 with the experimental points of Problem 5.6.

5.14. From Hla et al., the van Laar constants for the system n-hexane(1)-benzene(2) at
approximately 70C are determined to be A12=0.6226 and A21=0.2970.
(a) Predict the van Laar constants at 25C.
(b) Predict the excess enthalpy at 25C over the entire composition range and compare your values
with the following experimental values of Jones and Lu [J. Chem. Eng. Data, 11, 488 (1966)].
