A mixture of 40 mol % isopropanol in water is distilled at 1 atm by differential distillation until 70 mol % of the charge has been vaporized (equilibrium data are given in Exercise 7.33). What is the composition of the liquid residue in the still pot and of the collected distillate

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The percentage wieght of mixture [tex]x_w[/tex] = 0.4

The distillate = 70

From equilibrium data in Exercise 7.33

The Feed W = 100

The Liquid residue F = Feed(W) - Distillate (D)

= 100 - 70 = 30

By applying rayleigh equation;

[tex]In \bigg (\dfrac{F}{W}\bigg)= \int^{xF}_{x_w}\dfrac{1}{y-x} \ dx[/tex]

From the plot of the graph of [tex]\dfrac{1}{y-x} \ vs \ x[/tex]; the area under the curve is being calculated between the point {[tex]x_1 = 0.4 \ and \ x_2[/tex] }.

Such that; the area [tex]= In \bigg( \dfrac{100}{30}\bigg)[/tex] = 1.209

Similarly, the value of xF = 0.067

[tex]y_D = \dfrac{F_{xF} - W_{xW}}{D}[/tex]

[tex]y_D = \dfrac{30(0.067)-100(0.4)}{70}[/tex]

[tex]y_D = 0.543[/tex]
