A liquid mixture containing 30.0 mole% benzene (B), 25.5% toluene (T), and the balance xylene (X) is fed to a distillation column, The bottoms product contains 90 mole % X and no B and 96% of the X in the feed is recovered in this stream. The overhead product is fed into a second column. The overhead product from the second column contains 97% of the B in the feed to this column. The composition of this stream is 94% mole B and the balance T.
a) Write in order the equation you would solve to calculate uknown process variables. include units and do not solve for the variables.
a) Calculate i) the percentages of the benzene in the process feed that emerges in the overhead product from the second column and ii) the percentage of toluene in the process feed that emerges in the bottom product from the second column.
