Question: ( b ) A continuous distillation column is fed with benzene, toluene mixture at its boiling point containing 3 5 mole % benzene. The top

(b) A continuous distillation column is fed with benzene, toluene mixture at its boiling point containing 35 mole% benzene. The top product is to contain 95 mole% of benzene and the bottoms are not to contain more than 5 mole%. The reflux ratio is to be 3.0. If the plate efficiency is 60%, determine the number of plate and the position of the feed plate. The following x-y clata (mole fraction) are available.
