Vapor-liquid equilibrium diagram ideal mixture

The following plot shows the vapor-liquid phase diagram for a binary ideal mixture (components: A and B). The vapor pressures of the pure substances are [math]p_A^*[/math] and [math]p_B^*[/math], respectively.

The red curve shows the vapor pressure of the mixture as a function of the mole fraction of A in the liquid ([math]x_A^l[/math]) In the example below [math]p_A^*=1[/math] (a.u.) and the [math]p_B^*/p_A^*[/math] ratio can be changed moving the slider below.
