2. Benzene (1), toluene (2), and ethylbenzene (3) are by-products of a reaction. 100 moles per minute of this liquid mixture is flashed from 200 mm Hg and 50 °C to 100 mm Hg. If the mole fraction of benzene and toluene are both 40% (with the balance ethylbenzene) entering the flash distillation unit, what is the resulting composition and molar flowrate of the equilibrium streams exiting the unit? Model the mixture using Raoult’s Law.

The human activities in two locations are described below: location a: rampant use of plastic containers location b: excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers which statement is most likely true? location a will have poor air quality because plastic is biodegradable. location a will experience water scarcity because plastic absorbs moisture. the population of honeybees will increase in location b because production of crops will increase. the population of fish in location b will decrease because the water is contaminated.
