It is desired to separate 200 kmol/h of an aqueous solution of acetic acid using a tray distillation column that works at one atmosphere, to obtain a distillate of 30% acid and bottoms with 5% water. If the feed has a composition of 40 mol% acid and enters at a temperature of 103C, determine:

a) The flows of the distillate and funds. b) The number of avocados and the minimum reflux c) The number of ideal plates required if a reflux ratio is 1.25 times the minimum. d) The value of Q and Q e) The heat contained in the food
