HENRY’S LAW
Henry’s law states that the partial pressure of the species in the vapor phase is
directly proportional to its liquid-phase mole fraction.
where Hi is Henry’s constant. Values of Hi come from experiment.
Application of Raoult’s law and Henry’s law:
Liquid mixtures that form an ideal solution at low pressure
Use Raoult’s law for all species
Liquid mixtures that do not form an ideal solution and at low pressure
Use Raoult’s law for solvent
Use Henry’s law for solute
Gases that dissolve in a liquid mixture (e.g. air in water)
Use Henry’s law for the dissolved gaseous species

Table 10.1 lists Henry’s constant values at 25oC (298.15K) for a few gases dissolved in water.
Henry’s constant is also an indicator for solubility of a gas in the solvent. The greater the Henry’s constant, the lower is the solubility.

Assuming that carbonated water contains only CO2(1) and H2O(2), determine the compositions of the vapor and liquid phases in a sealed can of “soda” and the pressure exerted on the can at 10oC (283.15K). Henry’s constant for CO2 in water at 10oC (283.15K) is about 990 bar.

Example 10.2 Solution:
Given Henry’s constant for CO2 in water = 990 bar (i.e CO2 dissolved in water)
Henry’s law is applied to species 1 and Raoult’s law is applied to species 2 :
y1P = x1H1 y2P = x2P2sat
F = 2-2+2 = 2, only T is given. Need to specify the mole fraction to solve the problem. Assume the vapor phase is nearly pure CO2 (y11) and the liquid phase is nearly pure H2O (x21). Take x1 = 0.01.
Sum the two equations give
P = x1H1 + x2P2sat
With H1 = 990 bar, x1 = 0.01 and P2sat = 0.01227 bar (Table F.1 at 10oC or
283.15 K),
P = (0.01)(990) + (0.99)(0.01227) = 9.912 bar
Then by Raoult’s law, eq. (10.1) written for species 2:
y1 = 1 - y2 = 1 - 0.0012 = 0.9988, and the vapor phase is nearly pure CO2
as assumed.

In real life, most solutions are non ideal i.e they do not obey Raoult’s law. Non ideal solution deviate from Raoult’s law.
The non ideality exhibit by these solutions due to dissimilarity in the sizes of molecules, shapes of the molecules, and inter-molecular interactions between molecules.
Modified Raoult’s law accounts for non-ideal solutions, or non-idealities in the liquid phase:
where i is activity coefficient.
There are a number of correlations that can be used to predict the value of activity coefficient e.g. Margules, Van Laar, Non-Random Two Liquid (NRTL), Wilson, etc.

The simplest correlation to predict activity coefficient for binary mixture is as follow:
ln 1 = Ax22 ln 2 = Ax1

where A is a function of temperature only or simply a constant.
This correlation can only be used in some liquid mixtures which exhibit small deviation from ideal solution.
Bubblepoint and dewpoint calculation by modifed Raoult’s law:
Because iyi = 1, eq. (10.5) may be summed over all species to yield
Because ixi = 1, eq. (10.5) may be summed over all species to yield

Example 10.3
For the system methanol(1)/methyl acetate(2), the following equations provide a reasonable correlation for the activity coefficients:
ln 1 = Ax22 ln 2 = Ax1
2 where A = 2.771 - 0.00523T
In addition, the following Antoine equations provide vapor pressures:
where T is in kelvins and the vapor pressures are in kPa. Assuming the validity of eq. (10.5), calculate

(b) DEW P calculation (given T = 318.15K and y1 = 0.60)
Values of P1sat, P2
sat and A are unchanged from part (a).
Iteration procedure is required to find the liquid phase composition
and to calculate the activity coefficients.
Initial values are provided by Raoult’s law, for which 1 = 2 = 1.0.
The required steps, with the current value of 1 and 2, are:
1. Calculate P by eq. (10.7), written
2. Calculate x1 by eq. (10.5)
3. Evaluate activity coefficients;
ln 1 = Ax22 ln 2 = Ax1
2
4. Return to the first step.
Iterate to convergence on a value for P.

(c) BUBL T calculation (given P = 101.33 kPa and x1 = 0.85)
Calculate T1sat and T2

A mole fraction weighted average of these values then provides an initial T:

An iterative procedure consists of the steps:
1. For the current value of T calculate values for A, 1, 2, P1sat, P2

Because the liquid phase composition is unknown, the activity coefficients

(e) First determine whether or not an azeotrope exists at the given
temperature.
This calculation is facilitated by the definition of a quantity called the
relative volatility:
At an azeotrope y1 = x1, y2 = x2, and 12 = 1. By eq. (10.5),

The correlating equations for activity coefficients:
ln 1 = Ax22 ln 2 = Ax1

when x1 = 0, ln 2 = Ax12 = A(0) = 0 2 = exp(0) = 1
x2 = 1, ln 1 = Ax22 = A(1) = A 1 = exp(A)
and
when x1 = 1, ln 2 = Ax12 = A(1) = A 2 = exp(A)
x2 = 0, ln 1 = Ax22 = A(0) = 0 1 = exp(0) = 1
Therefore in these limits, eqn. (10.9) becomes
For T = 318.15 K or 45oC, from part (a)
P1sat = 44.51 kPa P2
sat = 65.64 kPa A = 1.107
The limiting values of 12 are therefore
(12)x1=0 = 2.052 (12)x1=1 = 0.224
Because the value at one limit is greater than 1, whereas the value at the
other limit is less than 1, an azeotrope does exist. Because 12 is a
continuous function of x1 and must pass through the value of 1 at some
intermediate composition.

For the azeotrope, 12 = 1, and eq. (10.9) becomes
The difference between the correlating equations for ln 1 and ln 2 provides
the general relation:
Thus the azeotropic occurs at the value of x1 for which this equation is
satisfied when the activity coefficient ratio has its azeotrope value of 1.4747
(from eq. (A)).
When ln 1/2 = 0.388, substitute into eq. (B), gives x1az = 0.325. For this
value of x1,
ln 1az = Ax2
2 1az = exp[(1.107)(1-0.325)2] = 1.657
With x1az = y1
az, eq. (10.5) becomes
Paz = 1azP1
sat = (1.657)(44.51) = 73.76 kPa
x1az = y1
az = 0.325
