When: (CH3)3COOH(CH3)3⇒ C2H6 + 2CH3CoCH3 
                       A                            B                 2C
SO first for A:
When feed rate to reactor = FA(o), and Effluent rate from reactor= FA=Fa(o)(1-x)

Second for B:
When feed rate to reactor = 0, and Effluent rate from reactor FB= FA(o)X

Third for C:
When feed rate tp reactor = 0, and the Effluent rate from reactor FC= 2FA(o)X

So, the total feed rate to reactor FT(o) = FA(o)
and the total Effluent rate from reactor FT = FA(o)(1+2X)
For the CSTR:
V= FA(o) X / γa where -γ = KCA

We can get the total concentration at any point CT and the entrance CT(o) from this equation:
CT= FT/Q= P/ZRT
and CT(o) = FT(o)/ Q(o) = P(o)/ Z(o)RT(o)

We can neglect the changes in Z (the compressibility factor) So:
Q = Q(o) FT/FT(o) P(o)/P T/T(o)
Because there is no pressure drop and for the isothermal system we can assume P & T are constants:
∴ Q = Q(o) FT/ FT(o) 
∴ CA = FA / Q = (FA(o)(1-X)) / (Q(o)(1+2X))
                        = CA(o)((1-X)/(1+2X)) -----> eq 1
When K (the reaction rate constant) at 127C° can be evaluated with R (the gas constant)  8.314 J/mole.K° = 0.08205 L.atm/mole.°K

When, K2=K1(exp)[E/R ( (1/T1) - (1/T2)]
when T1 by kelvin = 50+273= 323 K° and T2= 127+273 = 400 K° 
and activition energy = 85 KJ/mol = 85000 J/mol
       ∴     K2   =10^-4 (exp) [85000/8314 ((1/323) - (1/400)] = 0.0443 min^-1 
We can get the concentration of (A) at 10 atm and 127C° (400K°) by:

CA(o)= PA(o) /RT = 10 / ( 0.08205 * 400 ) = 0.305 mol / L

∴ The reactor volume of the CSTR is:
V = FA(o)X / KCA---> eq 2 
by substitute eq 1 in eq 2
∴ V=[ FA(o)x * (1+2x)] / [ KCA(o) * (1-X) ] 
      = [ 2.5 * 0.9 * (1+1.8)] / [0.0443 * 0.305* 0.1]
     = 4662.7 L
- The equilibrium conversion:
according to the reaction:
                       A⇔B + 2C
and we have:
-γ = KfCA - Kb CB( C(C)^2) = 0 and KC = Kf / Kb = (CB* CC^2)/ CA= 0.025(as it is agiven)

∴[ ( XCA(o) ) ( 2XCA(o)^2 ) ] / [ (1+2X)^2 * CA(o) * (1-X) ] = 0.025
 
when we have CA(o) (the initial concentration)= 0.305 mol/L, So we have this eq:
[(XCA(o)) (2XCA(o))^2] / [(1+2X)^2 CA(o) (1-X) ] = 0.025
 By the matlab function solve
∴ X= X eq = 0.512 for 90% of the equilibrium conversion
∴ X= 0.9 X eq =  0.4608

"When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical
matrenka [14]
Answer: periodic law.

Justification:

1) Although Mendeleev formulated the modern periodic table, ordering the elements according to their physical and chemical properties, there is not such law as Meneleev's Law.

2) The Pauli exclusion principle states that two electrons on an atom cannot have the same 4 quantum numbers, which drives to the fact that only two electrons can stay in the same orbital, each with opposite spin numbers.

3) Hund's rule states that the electrons with the same energy level will occupy the orbitals with the same spin before adding the electrons with the opposite spin.

4) Indeed the periodic law <span>states that the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, and there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties.</span>

How many grams of H2 will react with 350 g of N2?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

10.80

Explanation:

As per the equation, let us calculate the mole ratio. N2+3H2→2NH3. As per the equation one mole of nitrogen  reacts with 1 mol of hydrogen.

In terms of mass. 28.01 g of nitrogen needs 3 mol of hydrogen or 6.048 g of hydrogen.

We can set up the ratio;

When Rutherford's coworkers bombarded gold foil with a particles, they obtained results that overturned the existing (Thomson) m
balu736 [363]

Explanation:

Thomson model compared the structure of the atom with a watermelon in which the red portion signifies the positive charge and the electrons which are negatively charged are embedded in this portion as seeds are embedded in the watermelon.

<u>The structure was not able to explain the stability of the atom and also the Rutherford experiment which is:</u>

Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:

  • Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
  • Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
  • A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.

He concluded that:

Most of space of atom is empty and in center of atom , there is solid mass which is cause of alpha particles to come back. He gave term nucleus to this solid mass.

The distance from San Francisco to Los Angeles is approximately 385 miles. 1609 m = 1 mile. How many kilometers is this? Do not
vitfil [10]

Answer:

619.465 kilometers

Explanation:

1609 m = 1 mile

so 385 miles is equal to 619465 meters (385 x 1609= 619465)

1000 meters = 1 km

so 619465 meters is 619.465 kilometers
