Question: Question ( 1 ) ( 5 marks ) Use the given equilibrium data of methanol ( M e O H ) and water for solving

Question (1)
(5marks)
Use the given equilibrium data of methanol (MeOH) and water for solving the simple batch distillation problem with the following description: A single equilibrium stage batch still pot is used to separate MeOH from water. The feed with a total amount of 50 moles contains 80%MeOH and is charged into the still pot operated at 1atm. The mole fraction of MeOH left on the pot after the distillation has ended is 65%. Calculate the following:
(1) The amount of residue on the still pot after the distillation has ended. (3marks)
(2) The total amount of distillate collected. (1 mark)
(3) The distillate mole fraction. (1 mark)
