A flow process receives two streams (A and B) that contain mixtures of methane and ethane and produces a stream of pure methane (C) and a stream of pure ethane (D). All streams may be considered ideal gas mixtures with heat capacities, 35 and 53 J/mol K, for methane and ethane, respectively. Information about the system is given in the table below. a) Fill out the missing entries on this table. For enthalpy and entropy, use as reference state the pure components in the ideal gas state at 1 bar, 300 K. b) Calculate the ideal work for this process.
