Question

Please explain more on how to get the relative votality value of each components. Take your time to solve this since the question is lengthy. Thank you :) Have a nice day

A liquor consisting of phenol and cresols with some xylenols is fractionated to give a top product of 95.3 mole per cent phenol. The compositions of the top product and of the phenol in the bottoms are: Compositions (mole per cent) Feed Top Bottom 35 95.3 5.24 phenol 0-cresol 4.55 0.15 15 m-cresol 30 xylenols 20 100 100 If a reflux ratio of 10 is used, (a) Complete the material balance over the still for a feed of 100 kmol. (b) Calculate the composition on the second plate from the top. (c) Calculate the composition on the second plate from the bottom. (d) Calculate the minimum reflux ratio by Underwood's equation and by Colburn's approximation. The heavy key is m-cresol and the light key is phenol.
