Question

Molecular weight of Benzene = 78 kg/mol

Molecular weight of Toluene = 92 kg/mol

A continuous distillation column handles a mixture consisting of 40 percent of benzene and
60 percent of toluene at the rate of 4 kg/s, and separates it into an overhead product
containing 97 per cent of benzene and a bottom product containing 97 per cent toluene. All
percentages are by mass. The reflux ratio at the top of the column is 2.85 (ie. Rp = 2.85).
The feed enters as a saturated liquid. Equilibrium curve for benzene/toluene system is
provided.
a. Calculate the mass flowrates of the overhead and the bottom products
