A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Binary vapour-liquid equilibrium

Binary vapour‑liquid equilibrium (VLE) deals with the coexistence of a liquid mixture and its vapour at a given temperature and pressure. Mastering Raoult’s law, Dalton’s law, activity coefficients, and the construction of phase diagrams is essential for predicting composition of each phase and for designing separation units such as distillation columns.
