Problem:

100 moles of Benzene (A) and Toluene mixture containing 50% (mole) of
Benzene is subjected to a differential distillation at atmospheric
pressure till the composition of benzene in the residue is 33%.
Calculate the total moles of the mixture distilled. Average relative
volatility may be assumed as 2.16

Solution Summary

In this problem, the total moles of mixure distilled has been determined by using Rayleigh's Equation. The solution is detailed and well presented.
