3. The following feed of 100 mol/h at the boiling point and 405.3 kPa pressure is fed to a fractionating tower: n-butane (xA =0.40), n-pentane (xB = 0.25), n-hexane (xC =0.20_ and n- heptane (xD = 0.15). The feed is distilled so that 95% of the n-pentane is recovered in the distillate and 95% of n-hexane in the bottoms. Calculate the following a). Moles per hour and composition of the distillate and bottoms b). The top and bottom temperature of the tower
