we have to work on a distillatiion column that will separate a mixture of n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, and n-octane by pairs. that is, pentane and hexane would go off at the top, while the heptane and octane would go to the bottom. afterwhich, the pairs would again be separated, giving off four different products. if you need more details, don't hesitate to contact me. please, this project is due tomorrow--we've been working on it for two days. . . please help us. . . thank you.
