A feed of 5 0 mole % acetone - 5 0 mole % water is sent to a flash drum operating at P = 1

A feed of 50 mole% acetone -50 mole% water is sent to a flash drum operating at P =1 bar and T =80C. The schematic of the flash drum is shown in Figure 2. The liquid and vapor phases coming out of the flash drum are in equilibrium. It is observed that in the vapor phase, the acetone composition is 68 mole%. Using Raoults law, estimate the composition of water in the liquid phase (in mole%). The Antoines constants for acetone are: A=4.42448 ; B=1312.253 ; C=-32.445. log10(P^v)= A -( B/(T+C)) In the Antoines equation, P^v is in bar and T is in KVapor 68 mole% acetone Flash drum 50 mole% acetone T=80C,P=1 bar 50 mole% water
