Aclosed system contains an equimolar mixture of n-pentane and isopentane. Suppose the system is initially all liquid at 120°C an

d a high pressure, and the pressure is gradually reduced at a constant temperature. Estimate the pressures at which the first bubble of vapor forms and at which the last drop of liquid evaporates. Also calculate the liquid and vapor compositions (mole fractions) at those two conditions.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      T = 120^{o}C = (120 + 273.15)K = 393.15 K,  

As it is given that it is an equimolar mixture of n-pentane and isopentane.

So,            x_{1} = 0.5   and   x_{2} = 0.5

According to the Antoine data, vapor pressure of two components at 393.15 K is as follows.

               p^{sat}_{1} (393.15 K) = 9.2 bar

               p^{sat}_{1} (393.15 K) = 10.5 bar

Hence, we will calculate the partial pressure of each component as follows.

                 p_{1} = x_{1} \times p^{sat}_{1}

                            = 0.5 \times 9.2 bar

                             = 4.6 bar

and,           p_{2} = x_{2} \times p^{sat}_{2}

                         = 0.5 \times 10.5 bar

                         = 5.25 bar

Therefore, the bubble pressure will be as follows.

                           P = p_{1} + p_{2}            

                              = 4.6 bar + 5.25 bar

                              = 9.85 bar

Now, we will calculate the vapor composition as follows.

                      y_{1} = \frac{p_{1}}{p}

                                = \frac{4.6}{9.85}

                                = 0.467

and,                y_{2} = \frac{p_{2}}{p}

                                = \frac{5.25}{9.85}

                                = 0.527  

Calculate the dew point as follows.

                     y_{1} = 0.5,      y_{2} = 0.5  

          \frac{1}{P} = \sum \frac{y_{1}}{p^{sat}_{1}}

           \frac{1}{P} = \frac{0.5}{9.2} + \frac{0.5}{10.2}

             \frac{1}{P} = 0.101966 bar^{-1}              

                             P = 9.807

Composition of the liquid phase is x_{i} and its formula is as follows.

                   x_{i} = \frac{y_{i} \times P}{p^{sat}_{1}}

                               = \frac{0.5 \times 9.807}{9.2}

                               = 0.5329

                    x_{z} = \frac{y_{i} \times P}{p^{sat}_{1}}

                               = \frac{0.5 \times 9.807}{10.5}

                               = 0.467

2. (Exercise 4.1.6) A liquid adhesive consists of a polymer dissolved in a solvent. The amount of polymer in the solution is imp
Lilit [14]

Answer:

800 lb of pure solvent , 1700 lb of 20% solution and 500 lb of 10% solution will be mixed to form 3000 lb of 13 % solution .

Explanation:

3000 lb of 13% solution is required .

Total adhesive in weight = 3000 x .13 = 390 lb of adhesive

Available = 500 lb of 10% solution = 50 lb of adhesive

Rest = 390 - 50 = 340 lb required .

rest mass of solution = 3000 - 500 = 2500 lb

mass of adhesive required = 340 lb

Let the mass  of 20% required be V

mass of adhesive = .20 V

.20 V = 340

V = 1700

rest of the volume = 2500 - 1700 = 800 lb which will be of pure solvent

So 800 lb of pure solvent , 1700 lb of 20% solution and 500 lb of 10% solution will be mixed to form 3000 lb of 13 % solution .

The density of water is 1 gm/ml. An object has a mass of 58 grams. What volume must it have in order to float in water?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

58mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density of water  = 1g/mL

Mass of object  = 58g

Unknown:

The volume the object must have to be able to float in water = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we know that the object must have density value equal to that of water or less than that of water to be able to float.

We then set its density to that of water;  

   Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}  

      Volume  = \frac{mass}{density}  

So;

      Volume  = \frac{58}{1}   = 58mL
