Design a distillation column that can effectively separate a mixture containing 50 wt% methanol and 50 wt% water. The column should produce a distillate with no more than 5 wt% methanol and a bottom product with no more than 2 wt% water. The feed rate is 1000 kg/h and the column must operate at atmospheric pressure. Assume that the feed is a saturated liquid and that the methanol-water mixture behaves as an ideal solution. Provide the design specifications for the column, including the number of trays or packing height, diameter, and other necessary specifications.

Calculate the enthalpy of adsorption for the adsorption of 5 grams of hydrogen gas on a solid adsorbent at a temperature of 298 K, if the pressure of hydrogen gas is 2.5 atm and the volume of the adsorbent is 100 cm3. Assume ideal gas behavior and use the equation ΔH = -q/n, where ΔH is the enthalpy of adsorption, q is the heat absorbed, and n is the number of moles of gas adsorbed.
