Reading fractional distillation chart
« on: April 08, 2013, 09:05:31 AM »
I need help with this question

If a liquid mix containing 60% B were distilled using an efficient fractional distillation column, what temp would be read on the thermometer?


I don't know if the answer is 63o or 67o...

Here is an explanation: http://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/phaseeqia/nonideal.html#top.
It should be obvious from here what will the temperature be after the whole distillation process.
