Definition: This calculator determines the ratio of molecular masses of two immiscible liquids (water and another liquid) based on their weights and vapor pressures.
Purpose: It helps chemists and chemical engineers analyze immiscible liquid mixtures and understand their properties.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula relates the molecular masses of two immiscible liquids to their weights and vapor pressures in a mixture.
Details: Understanding this ratio helps in predicting distillation behavior, designing separation processes, and analyzing liquid-liquid systems.
Tips: Enter the weights of water and liquid B in kg, their respective vapor pressures in Pascals. All values must be > 0.
Q1: What are immiscible liquids?
A: Immiscible liquids are those that don't mix to form a homogeneous solution (like oil and water).
Q2: Why is this ratio important?
A: It helps determine the composition of vapor above an immiscible liquid mixture.
Q3: What units should I use?
A: Use kilograms for weights and Pascals for vapor pressures for consistent results.
Q4: Can I use this for miscible liquids?
A: No, this formula is specifically for immiscible liquid systems.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides theoretical values assuming ideal behavior and complete immiscibility.
