Question: Problem 3 . A feed liquid mixture of acetone ( A ) and water is available at 1 2 5 C and 6 8 7

Problem 3. A feed liquid mixture of acetone (A) and water is available at 125C and 687kPa and contains 57mol%A. Before entering the distillation tower, the feed passes through an expansion valve and is partially vaporized at 61C and 101.3kPa. From the data below, determine the vapor fraction in the feed.
\table[[Equilibrium data for acetone-H2O at 101.3kPa,,,,,,,],[T(C),56.7,57.1,60.0,61.0,63.0,71.7,100],[Mol% A in liquid,100,92.0,50.0,33.0,17.6,6.8,0],[Mol% A in vapor,100,94.4,85.0,83.7,80.5,69.2,0]]
