![Figure (1) shows a distillation column (C1) treats a mixture consisting of 58 mole % Ortho, 4 mol % Meta
and 38 mol % Para mono-nitro-toluene using a reflux ratio of 4.8. The mixture is to be distilled at a
temperature of 415 K requiring a pressure in the boiler of about 0,06 bar. Select the light key and more
volatility component, then find the composition of liquid and vapor in the 3rd stage if the relative volatility
of Ortha to Para is 1.69 and Meta to Para is 1.159 at range of (288 to 418 K).
