The feed stream to a distillation column is 40 mol-% n-pentane and 60 mol% n-hexane. Feed flow rate is 2500 mol/h and feed temperature is 30 °C. The column operates at 1 atm pressure and uses a total condenser. A distillate with 97 mol-% n-pentane is desired. Bottoms from the column should contain 98 mol-% n-hexane. Calculate both product flow rates
