Answer:
A. 72.34mol/min
B. 76.0%
Explanation:
A.
We start by converting to molar flow rate. Using density and molecular weight of hexane
= 1.59L/min x 0.659g/cm³ x 1000cm³/L x 1/86.17
= 988.5/86.17
= 11.47mol/min
n1 = n2+n3
n1 = n2 + 11.47mol/min
We have a balance on hexane
n1y1C6H14 = n2y2C6H14 + n3y3C6H14
n1(0.18) = n2(0.05) + 11.47(1.00)
To get n2
(n2+11.47mol/min)0.18 = n2(0.05) + 11.47mol/min(1.00)
0.18n2 + 2.0646 = 0.05n2 + 11.47mol/min
0.18n2-0.05n2 = 11.47-2.0646
= 0.13n2 = 9.4054
n2 = 9.4054/0.13
n2 = 72.34 mol/min
This value is the flow rate of gas that is leaving the system.
B.
n1 = n2 + 11.47mol/min
72.34mol/min + 11.47mol/min
= 83.81 mol/min
Amount of hexane entering condenser
0.18(83.81)
= 15.1 mol/min
Then the percentage condensed =
11.47/15.1
= 7.59
~7.6
7.6x100
= 76.0%
Therefore the answers are a.) 72.34mol/min b.) 76.0%
