Question: A mixture containing 4 5 . 0 % benzene ( B ) and 5 5 % toluene ( T ) by mass is fed at

A mixture containing 45.0% benzene (B) and 55% toluene (T) by mass is fed at a rate of 2000kgh into a distillation column. An overhead stream of 95wt%B is produced and 8% of the benzene fed to the column leaves in the bottom stream.
