A process is carried out in which a mixture containing 25.0 wt% methanol, 42.5% ethanol, and the balance water is separated into tw o fractions. A technician draws and analyzes samples of both product streams and reports that one stream contains 39.8% methanol and 31.5% ethanol and the other contains 19.7% methanol and 41.2% ethanol. You examine the reported figures and tell the technician that they must be wrong and that stream analyses should be carried out again.
