(c) Mixture of acetone (component 1) and chloroform (component 2) will form a maximum boiling azeotrope. The normal boiling points of acetone and chloroform are \( 56.6^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) and \( 62^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \), respectively, while the azeotrope boils at \( 64.4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) at \( 101.3 \mathrm{kPa} \) with a composition of \( 34 \mathrm{~mol} \% \) acetone. During the continuous distillation of a mixture of acetone and chloroform at \( 101.3 \mathrm{kPa} \), the liquid leaving a plate in the column has a composition of \( 15 \mathrm{~mol} \% \) acetone. Using the equations given below, estimate the activity coefficients of acetone and chloroform for this liquid.
