Cases when Raoult's law is unsolvable

Setup Consider a closed binary mixture of known total molar composition $n_i$, held at volume $V$ and temperature $T$. The equilibrium phase composition is determined by $\mu_i^{vap} = \mu_i^{liq}$. ...

What causes both components of a binary gas mix to condensate at the same time for a given composition

Okay, so recently I encountered the temperature - mole fraction diagrams for binary vapour-liquid equilibrium. For now, I only consider two-component systems where the components are very similar and ...

Anhydrous ammonia vapor-liquid equilibrium

I have been given a anhydrous ammonia vapor liquid system in an air-tight container where the pressure is 30 bar and the temperature is 30 degrees. They claim the system is in equilibrium, which I ...
