Consider the following statements about a two-product distillation column.
1. Overall and component balances give two independent equations for a binary.
2. Specifying the feed and both product compositions fixes the two flows.
3. The energy balance is needed to find the product flow rates.

  • A.3 only
  • B.1 only
  • C.All of them
  • D.1 and 2 only

Answer: D

The first two are correct and are the basis of the familiar lever rule. The third is wrong for the flows themselves, since the material balances alone determine them; the energy balance is needed for the reboiler and condenser duties.
