a mixture of 65 mol % n hexane and 35 mole % n octane is fed to a flash drum operating at 1500 mm Hg. Feed rate is 100 gmol/s. Mixture is heated to 110 degrees celcius, which the mixture vaporizes. Vapor and liquid products are removed constantly,

A) Calculatae the vapor and liquid product compositions (Mol % n hexane and n octane)

B) Calculate the vapor and liquid flow rates (gmol/s) y hex = 0.7 x hex = 0.6

C) Calculate the fractional recovert of the less voltile octane in the liquid and the fraction recovery of the more volatile hexane in the vapor pressure?
