Q3: 10,000 kg/hr of a mixture containing equal mass of benzene (B) and toluene (T) is separates in a distillation column. The product (P) recovered from the condenser at the top of the column contains 95% benzene, and the bottom (W) from the column contains 96% toluene. The vapor (V) entering the condenser from the top of the column is 8000 kg/hr. A portion of the product from the condenser is returned to the column as reflux (R), and the rest is withdrawn as the final product (P). Calculate the ratio of the amount refluxed (R) to the product withdrawn (P). (35 M)

Transcribed Image Text:Q3: 10,000 kg/hr of a mixture containing equal mass of benzene (B) and toluene (T) is
separates in a distillation column. The product (P) recovered from the condenser at the top of
the column contains 95% benzene, and the bottom (W) from the column contains 96%
toluene. The vapor (V) entering the condenser from the top of the column is 8000 kg/hr. A
portion of the product from the condenser is returned to the column as reflux (R), and the rest
is withdrawn as the final product (P). Calculate the ratio of the amount refluxed (R) to the
product withdrawn (P).
