A simple distillation flask (V=2L) is initially charged with 320 moles of a solution consisting of 40 mole % ethanol (A) and 60 mole % water (B). This solution is evaporated at a constant rate of 1.6 moles/min. The vapor is then condensed and collected in separate flask as distillate. Determine mole fraction of ethanol in the distillate when three-fifth (3/5) of the solution is evaporated and condensed. The equilibrium relation between XA (mol fraction of A in liquid phase) and ya (mol fraction of A in vapor phase) is: yA/XA=2
