A distillation column with a partial reboiler and a total condenser is being used to separate a mixture of benzene, toluene, and

1,2,3-trimethylbenzene. The feed, 40 mol% benzene, 30 mol% toluene, and 30 mol% 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene, enters the column as a saturated vapor. We desire 95% recovery of the toluene in the distillate and 95% of the 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene in the bottoms. The reflux is returned as a saturated liquid, and constant molar overflow can be assumed. The column operates at a pressure of 1 atm. Find the number of equilibrium stages required at total reflux, and the recovery fraction of benzene in the distillate. Solutions of benzene, toluene, and 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene are ideal.

Answer:

11.8.4 Distillation Columns

Distillation columns present a hazard in that they contain large inventories of flammable boiling liquid, usually under pressure. There are a number of situations which may lead to loss of containment of this liquid.

The conditions of operation of the equipment associated with the distillation column, particularly the reboiler and bottoms pump, are severe, so that failure is more probable.

The reduction of hazard in distillation columns by the limitation of inventory has been discussed above. A distillation column has a large input of heat at the reboiler and a large output at the condenser. If cooling at the condenser is lost, the column may suffer overpressure. It is necessary to protect against this by higher pressure design, relief valves, or HIPS. On the other hand, loss of steam at the reboiler can cause underpressure in the column. On columns operating at or near atmospheric pressure, full vacuum design, vacuum breakers, or inert gas injection is needed for protection. Deposition of flammable materials on packing surfaces has led to many fires on opening of distillation column for maintenance.

Another hazard is overpressure due to heat radiation from fire. Again pressure relief devices are required to provide protection.

The protection of distillation columns is one of the topics treated in detail in codes for pressure relief such as APIRP 521. Likewise, it is one of the principal applications of trip systems.

Another quite different hazard in a distillation column is the ingress of water. The rapid expansion of the water as it flashes to steam can create very damaging overpressures.

Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes. Cu−63 has a mass of 62.939 amu and relative abundance of 69.17%.
fiasKO [112]
The answer is 64.907 amu.

The atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes. The relative abundance of isotopes must be taken into consideration, therefore:
atomic mass of copper = atomic mass of isotope 1 * abundance 1 + atomic mass of isotope 2 * abundance 2

We know:
atomic mass of copper = 63.546 amu
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: 62.939 amu
The abundance of isotope 1 is: 69.17% = 0.6917
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: x
The abundance of isotope 2: 100% - 69.17% = 30.83% = 0.3083

Thus:
63.546 amu = 62.939 amu * 0.6917 + x * 0.3083
63.546 <span>amu = 43.535 amu + 0.3083x
</span>⇒ 63.546 amu - 43.535 amu = 0.3083x
⇒ 20.011 amu = 0.3083x
   ⇒ x = 20.011 amu ÷ 0.3083 = 64.907 amu

Which is a postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory?
oee [108]
An increase in the number of gas particles in the container increases the frequency of collisions with the walls and therefore the pressure of the gas. The last postulate of the kinetic molecular theory states that the average kinetic energy of a gas particle depends only on the temperature of the gas.
