SAMPLE PROBLEM #6

A feed containing 70 mol% benzene


and 30 mol% toluene is distilled under
differential conditions at 1 atm.

A total of one third of the moles in


the feed is vaporized. Assuming  = 2.5,
calculate the concentration of the
residue per unit mole of feed.
SOLUTION
V=1/3L1
condenser

1 atm D
L1=1mole
x1=0.7 L2, x2
=2.5

still pot

x2 = ?
At constant , use the following
form of Rayleigh equation:
