An acetone and water liquid mixture is fed to an evaporator to be partially vapourized. The initial liquid mixture contains 33.0 mol % acetone, and 67.0 mol% of water. The evaporator produces a vapour mixture that contains 69.0 mol % acetone, and the residual liquid contains 27.0 mol% acetone. The process is carried out continuously at a feed rate of 100 kmol/h. Calculate the molar flow rate of the process streams leaving the evaporator, along with the temperature (°C) and pressure (mmHg) of the system.

5. An acetone and water liquid mixture is fed to an evaporator to be partially vapourized. The initial
liquid mixture contains 33.0 mol % acetone, and 67.0 mol % of water. The evaporator produces a
vapour mixture that contains 69.0 mol % acetone, and the residual liquid contains 27.0 mol%
acetone. The process is carried out continuously at a feed rate of 100 kmol/h. Calculate the molar
flow rate of the process streams leaving the evaporator, along with the temperature (°C) and
pressure (mmHg) of the system.
