Batch distillation with no rectification to produce an average acetone distillate mole fraction of 0.60. This will require a trial and error solution. Collect between 5 and 10 pairs of distillate and waste mole fractions to use in the Rayleigh equation.

How much distillate will you produce? What will be the starting and ending distillate mole fractions?

The relative volatility is 4.74, and we have 100 kmol of feed with an acetone mole fraction of 0.4. Acetone is more volatile.
