Answer:

MgCl2

Explanation:

Lattice energy will be higher on ion with higher charge, or smaller size. A higher charge means it will have a stronger force. Smaller size ion will have less distance.

Magnesium has +2 charge and located in the third row, make it strongest of these three. Natrium will be the second strongest even though its charge is +1, the same as Kalium. Natrium has smaller size as it is on the third row, compared to Kalium that was in the fourth row.

Where the oxygen comes from the air (21% O2 and 79% N2). If oxygen is fed from air in excess of the stoichiometric amount requir

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$y_{O2} =4.3$ %

Explanation:

The ethanol combustion reaction is:

$C_{2}H_{5} OH+3O_{2}$ → $2CO_{2}+3H_{2}O$

If we had the amount (x moles) of ethanol, we would calculate the oxygen moles required:

$x*1.10(excess)*\frac{3 O_{2}moles }{etOHmole}$

Dividing the previous equation by x:

$1.10(excess)*\frac{3 O_{2}moles}{etOHmole}=3.30\frac{O_{2}moles}{etOHmole}$

We would need 3.30 oxygen moles per ethanol mole.

Then we apply the composition relation between O2 and N2 in the feed air:

$3.30(O_{2} moles)*\frac{0.79(N_{2} moles)}{0.21(O_{2} moles)}=121.414 (N_{2} moles )$

Then calculate the oxygen moles number leaving the reactor, considering that 0.85 ethanol moles react and the stoichiometry of the reaction:

$3.30(O_{2} moles)-0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{3(O_{2} moles)}{1(etOHmoles)} =0.75O_{2} moles$

Calculate the number of moles of CO2 and water considering the same:

$0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{3(H_{2}Omoles)}{1(etOHmoles)}=2.55(H_{2}Omoles)$

$0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{2(CO_{2}moles)}{1(etOHmoles)}=1.7(CO_{2}moles)$

The total number of moles at the reactor output would be:

$N=1.7(CO2)+12.414(N2)+2.55(H2O)+0.75(O2)\\ N=17.414(Dry-air-moles)$

So, the oxygen mole fraction would be:

$y_{O_{2}}=\frac{0.75}{17.414}=0.0430=4.3$ %
