Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

A. For a pure component, a cubic equation of state has three molar volume roots. However, for a binary mixture, a cubic equation of state will have four molar volume roots, since the number of components has increased by one. B. If one models the vapor-phase of a mixture as an ideal solution, this means that the mixture fugacity coefficient of component i will be equal to the pure component fugacity of component i at the mixture temperature and pressure. C. The van der Waals one-fluid mixing rule requires that the mixture parameters are the same in both the liquid and vapor phases. D. In modeling vapor-liquid equilibrium using the gamma-phi approach, you can disregard the effect of Poynting correction factor. E. None of the above are true.
