In distillation where q is defined as the moles of liquid flow in the stripping section per mole of feed introduced, for saturated liquid feed____________________?

Correct answer: C. q = 1

  • A. q > 1
  • B. q < 1
  • C. q = 1
  • D. q = 0

Explanation

For a saturated liquid feed, all feed enters the liquid phase, so the liquid flow added to the stripping section equals the feed flow. Hence, q equals 1.
