Column height is 20cm, and HETP is 10cm.
So this column will behave as 20/10=2 ideal trays.
Hence the distillate composition will be 45%benzene.
Chem 233 Islam AboalnadieSeparation of Liquids by Fractional Distillation and Analysis by Gas ChromatographyBackground and Methods: The purpose of this lab was to use the techniques of fractional distillation to separate a 1:1 mixture of Ethyl acetate and Butyl acetate then use gas chromatography to analyze the amount of each compound in each of three fractions obtained through the distillation. Fractional distillation will then be compared to simple distillation.
The first fraction was taken when the distillation apparatus was near the boiling point of Ethyl acetate (77.1ºC) (1). The second was taken when the distillation apparatus was in the process of increasing temperature from the boiling point of Ethyl acetate to the boiling point of Butyl acetate (126.1ºC) (1). The third and final fraction was taken around the boiling point of Butyl acetate until the distillation process was complete.
