What is the minimum number of theoretical trays required in a distillation column to separate a mixture of ethanol and water with a feed composition of 40% ethanol and 60% water, assuming a reflux ratio of 2:1 and a distillate purity of 95% ethanol? Assume an operating pressure of 1 atm and that the mixture obeys Raoult's law.
