Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The explanation for the arrangement of water inlet and outlet position in the water-cooled condensers should be given.

Concept introduction:

The process to separate the component from a liquid mixture by boiling of selective liquid followed by condensation of the mixture is called distillation. The distillation depends upon the boiling point difference of the components. The distillation is used in various industries to get the pure component

Why is it preferable to allow cold water to enter at the bottom of a condenser and exit at the top rather than vice versa?
A solution of acetic acid CH3COOH  and water is boiling at  100.4°C . A sample of the vapor above the solution is cooled until it condenses. This condensed sample is analyzed, and turns out to be  10.%  acetic acid by mass.   Calculate the percent by mass of acetic acid in the boiling solution. Here's some data you may need:   normal boiling point density vapor pressure at 100.4°C acetic acid 118.°C 1.1gmL 538.torr water 100.°C 1.00gmL 771.torr Be sure your answer has 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution and vapor above it are ideal.
Why would industry prefer to purify solids by sublimation or zone refining rather than recrystallization? (Hint: is there anything wasteful about recrystallization)
