Definition: This calculator determines the molecular mass of one liquid (A) in a mixture of two immiscible liquids based on their weights and vapor pressures.
Purpose: It's used in chemistry and chemical engineering to analyze properties of liquid mixtures that don't mix together (immiscible liquids).
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula relates the molecular masses of the liquids to their weights and vapor pressures in the mixture.
Details: Understanding molecular masses in immiscible liquid mixtures is crucial for distillation processes, phase equilibrium studies, and chemical separation techniques.
Tips: Enter all required values in consistent units (kg for masses, Pa for vapor pressures). Default values are provided as examples.
Q1: What are immiscible liquids?
A: Liquids that don't mix together and form separate layers (like oil and water).
Q2: Why are vapor pressures important in this calculation?
A: The vapor pressures determine how each component contributes to the total vapor pressure of the mixture.
Q3: Can this formula be used for miscible liquids?
A: No, this specific formula applies only to immiscible liquid mixtures.
Q4: What if one of the weights is zero?
A: All weights must be greater than zero for the calculation to be valid.
Q5: How precise should my measurements be?
A: For accurate results, measure weights to at least 6 decimal places (microgram precision).
