A mixture containing 65.0 mole % acetone and the balance acetic acid is separated in a continuous
distillation column at1 atm. A portion of the mixture is vaporized to yield a vapor containing top
product stream 98% Acetone and bottom product stream containing 15.5% acetone by mole.
Perform the material balance and energy balance for distillation process. the basis feed calculation is500molehr and the temperature for feed 67.5C, top product 56.8C and bottom product 98.7C
