Mass Transfer
An aqueous solution of methanol is to be distilled in a tray column. High pressure steam is available as a source of heat. For a given reflux ratio and overhead composition, two options are being explored; (i) a reboiler is used and (ii) no reboiler is used but steam is fed directly to the bottom of the column. As compared to option (i), in option (ii)

Less number of trays are required
More number of trays are required and the residue composition is more dilute in methanol
Composition of the residue remains unchanged
More number of trays are required but the residue composition remains unchanged

Mass Transfer
If a two phase system is in physical equilibrium; then it means that, the

Total pressure throughout the liquid phase is equal to that throughout the vapor phase
Escaping tendency of each component from the liquid phase to the vapor phase is exactly equal to that from vapor phase to liquid phase
Temperature of the liquid phase is equal to that of the vapor phase
All of these
