4) A mixture containing equal molar amounts of methanol and water is fed into a vessel which is at a pressure of 1 atm. Thirty-five percent of the feed is flashed off. i) Using the x-y diagram below find the methanol mole-fraction in the vapour and liquid leaving the vessel (where the exit streams are in equilibrium). ii) Use the temperature-composition diagram below to find the temperature of the exit streams.
