Question: We are distilling a mixture that is 2 0 . 0 mol % methanol, 2 0 . 0 mol % ethanol, 2 0 . 0

We are distilling a mixture that is 20.0 mol% methanol, 20.0 mol% ethanol, 20.0 mol% n-propanol, 20.0 mol% n-butanol, and 20.0 mol% n-pentanol. Methanol is most volatile and n- pentanol is least volatile. The feed is a saturated liquid. The column has a total condenser and a partial reboiler. The feed rate is 100.0kmolh. Pressure is 1.0 atm. LD=3.0.
We desire to recover 99.2% of methanol in the distillate and 98.0% of ethanol in the bottoms.
A) Define: the LK is the HK is the LNK is the HNK is
B) Explain why.
a) Methanol;
b) Ethanol;
c) n-propanol;
d) n-butanol;
e) n-pentanol;
f) None
explain and show all work please answer parts A to B write clearly if not i will give you a thumbs down and report you
