Given Feed contains benzene = 30% Toluene, = 25%

Answered: Write three balances and use one…

Question

A liquid mixture containing 30.0 mole% benzene (B), 25.0% toluene (T), and the balance xylene (X) is fed to a distillation column. The bottoms product contains 98.0 mole% X and no B, and 81.0% of the X in the feed is recovered in this stream. The overhead product is fed to a second column. The overhead product from the second column contains 95.5% of the B in the feed to this column. The composition of this stream is 94.0 mole% B and the balance T. Show all the details in flow diagram and label all the stream. Show your solution and write readable. Thank you.
