For the mixture in #3, what will be the composition (mole fraction) in the first vapor? If you have an initial liquid with a mole fraction of A of 0.1, how many theoretical plates are necessary to prepare a mixture which is at least 50% (mole percent) of A? If you have an initial liquid with a mole fraction of A of 0.1, how many theoretical plates are necessary to prepare a mixture which is at least 50% (mole percent) of C?
