We can also use reactive distillation with the reaction and see if the conversion improves. Methyl Acetate will be the product that is removed.

Reactive Distillation - Only Methyl Acetate Evaporates

Mole Balance			Mass Balance
Rate Law

Unfortunatly we are not given an evaporation rate for methy acetate, so we must look else where to find one. One such equation is :

FMeAc		Rate at which Methyl Acetate is removed from the reaction mixture by evaporation
XMeAc		Mole fraction of reaction mixture that is methyl acetate
Pv MeAc		Vapor pressure of methyl acetate at reaction temperature
PTotal		Total pressure of the system
FTotal		Rate at which air is bubbled through the reactor. As the species evaporate, they will be collected in the air bubbles.

Now we need to figure out the vapor pressure of methyl acetate. From Perry's Chemical Engineering Handbook, we can develop the equation :

and that for methy acetate :
