Material Balance around a separation process: (10 points):\ A liquid mixture is fed to a distillation column. It contains

60%

toluene and

40%

benzene by mass. The bottom product stream comprises of

10%

of the net benzene fed to the column. The overhead (top) stream comprises of a mixture with 90 mole % benzene. The density of the feed mixture is

0.8k(g)/(L)

and the feed flow rate is

2500(L)/(h)

. Determine the mass flow rates and composition (mass fractions) of all the streams (feed, bottom and overhead)
