Consider the van der Waals equation o state. p V V T, and Vapor-liquid equilirium (VLE) at a given temperature, T, ours at a speii pressure, the vapor pressure, p vap. Thereore, we an onsider the vapor pressure our unknown. However, you an t alulate the vapor pressure without knowing the molar volumes o the vapor, V vap, and liquid, V liq, phases. Thereore, in a standard VLE prolem, we have three unknowns: p vap, V vap and V liq. These three variales require three equations.
