Question: A solution composed of 5 0 % ethanol ( C 2 H 5 O H ) , 1 0 % methanol ( C H 3

A solution composed of 50% ethanol (C2H5OH),10% methanol (CH3OH) and 40% water (H2O) is fed at the rate of 100kghr into a separator that produces one stream at the rate of 60kghr with the composition of 80% ethanol, 15% methanol and 5% water, and a second stream of unknown composition. Calculate the composition of the three compounds in the unknown stream and its flowrate (in kghr).
