Mass Transfer
According to the Fenske equation, what will be the minimum number of plates required in a distillation column to separate an equimolar binary mixture of components A and B into an overhead fraction containing 99 mol% A and a bottom fraction containing 98 mol% B? Assume that relative volatility (αAB = 2) does not change appreciably in the coloumn.

Mass Transfer
If the solubilities of different components (in a liquid-liquid extraction system) increase with rise in temperature, then the temperature above which they dissolve completely is known as the critical solution temperature (CST or consolute temperature). If solubilities increase with decrease in temperature, then CST is the temperature below which they dissolve completely. If a binary system has no critical solution temperature, it implies that

The system comprises of miscible liquids
The system comprises of partially mis-cible liquids
On heating, a vapor phase will appear ; while on cooling, a solid phase will appear
The system comprises of an azeotrope
