One hundred kilogram-moles per hour of a feed containing 30 mole% n-hexane and 70% n- octane is to be distilled in a column consisting of a partial reboiler, a theoretical plate, and a partial condenser, all operating at 1 atm (101.3 kpa). the feed, a bubble-point liquid, is fed to the reboiler, from which a liquid bottoms product is continuously withdrawn. bubble-point reflux is returned to the plate. the vapor distillate contains 80 mole% hexane, and the reflux ratio (lrd) is 2 assume the partial reboiler, plate, and partial condenser each function as an equilibrium stage. (a) using the mccabe-thiele method, calculate the bottoms composition and moles of distillate produced per hour.

sure im new too!

explanation:

the term hydride is commonly named after binary compounds that hydrogen forms with other elements of the periodic table. hydride compounds in general form with almost any element, except a few noble gases. the trends and properties vary according to the type of intermolecular force that bonds the elements together, the temperature, its molecular masses, and other components. hydrides are classified into three major groups, depending on what elements the hydrogen bonds to. the three major groups are covalent, ionic, and metallic hydrides. formally, hydride is known as the negative ion of a hydrogen, h-, also called a hydride ion. because of this negative charge, hydrides have reducing, or basic properties. its special characteristics will be further discussed.
