Question: A fractionating column operating at 1 atm has a certain number of plates. The last plate, at bottom of the column is at 6 0

A fractionating column operating at 1atm has a certain number of plates. The last plate, at bottom of the column is at 60C where the vapor phase composition is 40% light key (LK) and the liquid phase composition is 13% LK (by mole). The molecular weights of the LK and heavy key (HK) are 50 and 60, respectively. The liquid densities of LK and HK are 0.6 and 0.8gcm3, respectively, at the temperature of the bottom plate. The gas phase of mixtures of these compone behaves ideally. The surface tension of the LK and HK are 23 and 29mNm, respectively at the temperature of the bottom plate.
Determine the vapor phase and liquid phase molecular weights for the binary mixture.
