Question:

A single-stage steam distillation system is recovering n-decane from a small amount of nonvolatile organics. Pressure is $800.0 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$. The still is operated with liquid water present, and the organic layer in the still is $99.0 \mathrm{~mol} \% \mathrm{n}$-decane. Determine:

a. Still temperature.

b. Moles of water vaporized per mole of n-decane vaporized.
Decane vapor pressure is in Table 8-2. Water vapor pressures are in Table $8-1$
