Answer:
11.8.4 Distillation Columns
Distillation columns present a hazard in that they contain large inventories of flammable boiling liquid, usually under pressure. There are a number of situations which may lead to loss of containment of this liquid.
The conditions of operation of the equipment associated with the distillation column, particularly the reboiler and bottoms pump, are severe, so that failure is more probable.
The reduction of hazard in distillation columns by the limitation of inventory has been discussed above. A distillation column has a large input of heat at the reboiler and a large output at the condenser. If cooling at the condenser is lost, the column may suffer overpressure. It is necessary to protect against this by higher pressure design, relief valves, or HIPS. On the other hand, loss of steam at the reboiler can cause underpressure in the column. On columns operating at or near atmospheric pressure, full vacuum design, vacuum breakers, or inert gas injection is needed for protection. Deposition of flammable materials on packing surfaces has led to many fires on opening of distillation column for maintenance.
Another hazard is overpressure due to heat radiation from fire. Again pressure relief devices are required to provide protection.
The protection of distillation columns is one of the topics treated in detail in codes for pressure relief such as APIRP 521. Likewise, it is one of the principal applications of trip systems.
Another quite different hazard in a distillation column is the ingress of water. The rapid expansion of the water as it flashes to steam can create very damaging overpressures.
Answer:
Compound
Explanation:
compound: Substance that is made up of more than one type of atom bonded together
mixture: a combination of two or more elements of compound which are not chemically bonded
Ephedrine, a central nervous system stimulant, is used in nasal sprays as a decongestant. This compound is a weak organic base:
C10H15ON (aq) + H2O (l) -> C10H15ONH+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
A 0.035 M solution of ephedrine has a pH of 11.33.
a) What are the equilibrium concentrations of C10H15ON, C10H15ONH<span>+, and OH-</span>?
b) Calculate <span>Kb</span> for ephedrine.
c(C₁₀H₁₅NO) = 0,035 M.<span>
pH = 11,33.
pOH = 14 - 11,33 = 2,67.
[OH</span>⁻] =
10∧(-2,67) = 0,00213 M.<span>
[OH</span>⁻] =
[C₁₀H₁₅NOH⁺] = 0,00213 M.<span>
[</span>C₁₀H₁₅NO] = 0,035 M - 0,00213 M = 0,03287 M.<span>
Kb = [OH</span>⁻] ·
[C₁₀H₁₅NOH⁺] / [C₁₀H₁₅NO].<span>
Kb = (</span>0,00213 M)² / 0,03287 M = 1,38·10⁻⁴.
The statement is False.
The molecular (chemical) formulas are same in case of isomers but the arrangement of atoms is different in them. The physical properties are determined by the arrangement of atoms within the molecule.
Since the arrangement of atoms is different in case of isomers, the Physical Properties will also be different.
