A rectification column is fed 100kg mol/h of a mixture of 50 mol % benzene and 50 mol % toluene at 101.32 kPa abs ressure. !he feed is li"uid at the boiling oint. !he distillate is to contain #0 mol % benzene and the bottoms 10 mol % benzene. !he reflux ratio is $.52%1. &alculate the kg mol/h distillate' kg mol/h bottoms' and the number of theoretical tra(s needed using the )c&abe*!hiele method. +sing gra hical methods' calculate the minimum reflux ratio ,m and the minimum number of theoretical lates at total reflux.
