Why do convection currents form
1 answer:
Convection currents can happen in liquids and gases. For example when air is heated it becomes less dense and rises. This means that cooler more dense air comes down and is also heated rising up above more cooler air etc. This creates a convection current.

The volume of the gas
Solution
Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, the volume per mole of gas or the molar volume-Vm is 22.4 liters/mol.
So for 2.5 moles gas :
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
T = = (120 + 273.15)K = 393.15 K,
As it is given that it is an equimolar mixture of n-pentane and isopentane.
So, = 0.5 and
= 0.5
According to the Antoine data, vapor pressure of two components at 393.15 K is as follows.
(393.15 K) = 9.2 bar
(393.15 K) = 10.5 bar
Hence, we will calculate the partial pressure of each component as follows.
=
= 4.6 bar
and,
=
= 5.25 bar
Therefore, the bubble pressure will be as follows.
P =
= 4.6 bar + 5.25 bar
= 9.85 bar
Now, we will calculate the vapor composition as follows.
=
= 0.467
and,
=
= 0.527
Calculate the dew point as follows.
= 0.5,
= 0.5
= 0.101966
P = 9.807
Composition of the liquid phase is and its formula is as follows.
=
= 0.5329
=
= 0.467
