A binary feed consisting of 25 mol% liquid and 75 mol% vapour is separated in a staged distillation column. The mole fraction of the more volatile component in the distillate product is 0.95. The molar flow rate of distillate is 50% of the feed flow rate and the McCabe-Thiele method can be used to analyze the column. The q-line intersects the operating line of the enriching section at (0.35, 0.5) on the x-y diagram. The slope of the stripping section operating line (up to one decimal place) is _______.
Correct : 1.4
