Forty percent by volume of ethanol is processed to attain the 70% by volume concentration by removing water by distillation. Ethanol boils at a temperature lower than the boiling point of water. If the inflow rate of the process is 4 liters/min, determine the outflow rate of 70% ethanol in liters/min as well as the outflow rate of water in li/min.
