2. A distillation column is to be designed that will separate methane (M), propane (P), butane (B), and hexane (H). The feed is a saturated liquid, and the composition is given as: Compound 22.9 Mole % in Feed Methane Propane Butane Hexane 36.8 32.2 8.1 Tous Determine the compositions of the distillate and the bottoms product( mol%), if the fractional recoveries of propane in the distillate = 98.5% and that of butane = 88% in the bottoms product.brola The relative volatiles - XM-B= 20.245;
