ECH 3023 Spring'23 Homework Assignment \#2 Problem \#3: One hundred moles/hour of a mixture that is 36 mole % toluene and the rest benzene and xylene are sent to a distillation column. An overhead stream with a composition of 70 mole\% benzene, 20% toluene and the rest xylene is sent to a condenser where the vapor is completely condensed. Some of the stream returns to the column as a reflux while 47.8mol/hr are taken off as an overhead product. The bottom stream from the column is sent to a partial reboiler where some of it is vaporized and sent back to the column as the boilup, while the rest exits as a bottom product stream. If 30% of the benzene in the feed exits in the bottom product stream, find: A) The composition (mole percentages) of the feed B) The flowrate (moles/hr) of the overhead stream (from the column to the condenser) C) The flowrate (moles/hr) of the bottoms product stream
