BATCH DISTILLATION QUIZ No.1

1. A simple batch still (one equilibrium stage) is separating a 50-mole feed charge to the still
pot that is 80.0 mol% methanol and 20.0 mol% water. An average distillate concentration of
89.2 mol% methanol is required. Find the amount of distillate collected, the amount of
material left in the still pot, and the concentration of the material in the still pot. Pressure is
1 atm.

Assume:
T F =85 ℃ ;T BP =100℃
