You are separating an ideal binary mixture of acetone and ethanol in a fractionating column. The mixture contains 60 mol% ethanol and is 60% vaporized under column conditions. You desire a distillate containing 95 mol% acetone and a bottoms containing no more than 5 mol% acetone. What is the required number of trays for a reflux ratio of 3 and tray efficiency of 65%? Use the table below for the equilibrium data. At C Supplemental Table: Properties of Pure Species B Vapor pressure (p sat) by the Antoine Equation: In p sat/kPa = A - 17C+C Latent heat of vaporization at the normal boiling point (AHn), and normal boiling point (In) Parameters for Antoine Eqn.
