Question

Binary Mixtures

The goal is to learn to recognize binary mixtures in various states, and the effect of the environment on their composition.

How many examples of binary mixtures can you identify in Nature or our daily environment?

Do these examples exist in liquid/gas equilibrium? If yes, how can you change the amounts of liquid/gas? If no, how can you make such mixture heterogeneous?

Are compositions of liquid and gas the same? Which component dominates in which phase and why?

What *special cases* of composition do you know?

Can you determine composition of gas and liquids based on the environment?

Can you determine environment based on composition?

What parameters do you need to calculate compositions? How can you find such values if they are not given to you directly?

Explanation / Answer

sugar dissolved in water is a binary mixture..

naphthalene in equillibrium with air is another type of binary mixture (solid-gas equillibrium) in our day to day life.

in a liquid-gas binary mixture the compositions of both will be the same at equillibrium
