A rigid, closed vessel of volume V =648 liters maintained at constant temperature T=365 K is loaded with 112 mol of n-hexane, 15

5 mol of n-heptane, and 14 mol of nitrogen. Calculate the pressure in the vessel and the composition of all phases present at equilibrium. Make the following three assumptions: a) n-hexane and n-heptane form an ideal liquid solution, b) the vapor phase is ideal, c) nitrogen has negligible solubility in the liquid phase at the conditions of interest. The vapor pressures of n-hexane and n-heptane at T=365 K are P1=0.199 MPa and P2=0.083 MPa, respectively. Their (liquid) molar volumes are V¯ 1=0.146 l/mol and V¯ 1=0.162 l/mol, respectively.

Answer:

P = 2.92 atm

Explanation:

With the three assumptions in mind, the system consists of:

  • A liquid phase containing n-hexane and n-heptane, and
  • A gaseous phase containing n-hexane vapor, n-heptane vapor, and nitrogen gas.

First we use PV=nRT to calculate the moles of n-hexane and n-heptane in the gaseous phase:

  • n-hexane:

P = 0.199 MPa ⇒ 0.199 * 1.869 = 1.964 atm

  • 1.964 atm * 648 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 365 K
  • n = 42.52 moles
  • n-heptane:

P = 0.083 MPa ⇒ 0.083 * 1.869 = 0.155 atm

  • 0.155 atm * 648 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 365 K
  • n = 3.358 moles

So <u>the gaseous phase consists of 42.52 moles of n-hexane, 3.358 moles of n-heptane, and 14 mol of nitrogen</u>.

For the liquid phase, we <u>calculate the remaining moles of n-hexane and n-heptane</u>. Then we<u> convert to liters</u>, using their molar volumes:

  • n-hexane:
  • n = 112 mol - 42.52 mol = 69.48 mol
  • 69.48 mol * 0.146 L/mol = 10.14 L
  • n-heptane:
  • n = 155 mol - 3.358 mol = 151.642 mol
  • 151.642 mol * 0.162 L/mol = 24.57 L

So the liquid phase occupies (10.14+24.57) = 34.71 L, and <u>contains 69.48 mol of n-hexane and 151.64 mol of n-heptane</u>.

Finally, to<u> calculate the pressure in the vessel</u>, we use PV=nRT:

P = ?

V = 648 - 34.71 = 613.29 L

n = 42.52 mol hexane + 3.35 mol heptane + 14 mol nitrogen = 59.87 mol

T = 365 K

  • P * 613.29 L = 59.87 mol *  0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 365 K
  • P = 2.92 atm

What begins to happen to radioactive uranium as soon as a mineral containing it crystallizes from magma?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<span>The radioactive uranium decays into its daughter product, lead. It would do this in magma as well, as nuclear decay depends on forces within the atom, not on the phase of the material in which the atom is a part.</span>

The answer to the question?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

atomic particles

The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
