HW 6 - p 7.42 - Calculation of Column Efficiency and EMV from EOV- 4 pts

For the conditions of exercise 7.41, a laboratory Oldershaw column measures an average Murphree vapor-point efficiency of 65%. Estimate EMV and Eo.

I am having trouble finding lambda. I am trying to use the weight% from the previous problem to solve for the molar amounts of the vapor and liquid for the equation for lambda. Any suggestions?

lambda = m V / L where m is the slope of the equilibrium curve. It is somewhat arbitrary, but I want you to calculate m at the top of the column...between {1,1} and the 1st given equilibrium data point.
