Question: Given the flow sheet below with the information provided, and given that component B in the top product of unit 1 ( stream 3 )

Given the flow sheet below with the information provided, and given that component B in the top product of unit 1(stream 3) is 4% of the total benzene fed to the unit. Answer the following questions:
a. Fill out the degrees of freedom analysis table below.
\table[[,Unit 1,mixer,Unit 2,\table[[Unit 1],[Mixer]],\table[[Unit 2],[Mixer]],\table[[Overall],[process]]],[Number of variables,,,,,,],[Number of given variables,,,,,,],[\table[[Number of independent],[equations]],,,,,,],[\table[[Number of additional],[relations]],,,,,,],[Degree of Freedom,,,,,,]]
b. Based on the results of part a, is the flow sheet solvable using the given information? If the answer is no, assume xA8=0.2.
c. What is your strategy for solution, i.e. the sequence of solution (which unit will be solved first, then which follows and so on until all the variables are calculated)
d. Calculate all unknown variables (flow rates and compositions).
