b) Calculate the mole per hour and composition of distillate and bottoms

Overall Mass Balance

F=D+W

Component Balance ( B )

FXBF = DXBD + BXBB

(100)(0.41) = DXBD + BXBB

41 = DXBD + BXBB

Because of 95% of B goes to distillate

DXBD = 0.95 FXBF

DXBD = 0.95 (41)

DXBD = 38.95

41= 38.95 + BXBB

BXBB = 2.05
Component Balance (C)

FXCF = DXCD + BXCB

(100)(0.1) = DXCD + BXCB

10 = DXCD + BXCB

Because of 90% of C goes to bottom

BXCB = 0.9 FXCF

BXCB = 0.9 (10)

BXCB = 9

10 = DXCD + 9

DXCD = 1
