Question

A 50 mol% mixture of acetone in isopropanol is to be distilled to produce a distillate of 80 mol% acetone and a bottoms of 25 mol%. The feed is a saturated liquid, the column is operated with a reflux ratio of 0.5, and the Murphree vapor efficiency is 50%. How many trays are required? Assume a total condenser, partial reboiler, saturated- liquid reflux, and optimal feed stage. The vapor–liquid equilibrium data are:
