 A liquid mixture containing 40.0 mole% A, 20.0%B, and the balance

A liquid mixture containing 40.0 mole% A, 20.0%B, and the balance C is fed to a distillation column. The bottoms product contains 97.0 mole%C and no A, and 95.0% of the C in the feed is recovered in this stream. The overhead product is fed to a second distillation column. The overhead product from the second column contains 98.0% of the A in the feed. The composition of this stream is 95.0 mole% A and the balance B. (a) Draw and label a flowchart of this process. (b) Analyze the degree-of-freedom for the process and state where to start to calculate the unknown variables. (c) Compute the composition of all the streams
