Answer:

5.90 moles of ethane, C₂H₆, is burned in an excess of oxygen to produce 11.8 moles of CO₂.

Explanation:

To answer the question, we examine the chemical reaction as follows

2C₂H₆ ( g ) + 7O₂ ( g ) ⟶ 4CO₂ ( g ) + 6H₂O ( g )

From the chemical reaction it is seen that 2 moles of ethane, C₂H₆, is required to produce 4 moles of CO₂

This means that 1 mole of C₂H₆, is required to produce 2 moles of CO₂

Since we are asked to find out how many moles of CO 2 are produced when 5.90 moles of ethane is burned in an excess of oxygen and we already know that 1 mole of C₂H₆, is required to produce 2 moles of CO₂, we multiply both the 1 mole of C₂H₆ and the 2 moles of CO₂  by 5.90 to obtain;

(5.90 × 1 mole) of C₂H₆  is required to produce (5.90× 2 moles) of CO₂ or

5.90 moles of C₂H₆  is required to produce 11.8 moles of CO₂.

A gas stream containing n-hexane in nitrogen with a relative saturation of 0.58 (as a fraction, multiply by 100% if you prefer %
kondor19780726 [428]

This problem is describing a gas mixture whose mole fraction of hexane in nitrogen is 0.58 and which is being fed to a condenser at 75 °C and 3.0 atm, obtaining a product at 3.0 atm and 20 °C, so that the removed heat from the system is required.

In this case, it is recommended to write the enthalpy for each substance as follows:

H_{C-6}=y_{C-6}C_v(T_b-Ti)+\Delta _vH+C_v(T_f-Tb)\\\\H_{N_2}=y_{N_2}C_v(T_f-Ti)

Whereas the specific heat of liquid and gaseous n-hexane are about 200 J/(mol*K) and 160 J/(mol*K) respectively, its condensation enthalpy is 31.5 kJ/mol, boiling point is 69 °C and the specific heat of gaseous nitrogen is about 29.1 J/(mol*K) according to the NIST data tables and y_{C-6} and y_{N_2} are the mole fractions in the gaseous mixture. Next, we proceed to the calculation of both heat terms as shown below:

H_{C-6}=0.58*200(69-75)+(-31500)+160(20-69)=-40036J/mol\\\\H_{N_2}=0.42*29.1(20-75)=-672.21J/mol

It is seen that the heat released by the nitrogen is neglectable in comparison to n-hexanes, however, a rigorous calculation is being presented. Then, we add the previously calculated enthalpies to compute the amount of heat that is removed by the condenser:

Q=-40036+(-672.21)=-40708.21J

Finally we convert this result to kJ:

Q=-40708.21J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}\\\\Q=-40.7kJ
