A solution composed of 51% ethanol (EtOH), 11% methanol (Me0H), and the balance water (H20) is fed at the rate of 129 kg/hr into a separator that produces one stream at the rate of 62 kg/hr with the composition of 80% EtOH, 14% MeOH, and the balance H20, and a second stream of unknown composition. Calculate the% of water in the unknown stream. Answer in two decimal. Show the flow diagram with all detail and complete solution.
