A mixture of acetone and isopropanol containing 50 mol% acetone is to be distilled continuously to produce an overhead product containing 80 mol% acetone and a bottoms containing 25 mol% acetone. If a saturated-liquid feed is employed, if the column is operated with a reflux ratio of 0.5, and if the Murphree vapor efficiency is 50%, how many trays will be required? Assume a total condenser, partial reboiler, saturated-liquid reflux, and optimal feed stage. The vapor-liquid equilibrium data for this systemare
