A slurry of flakes soybeans weighing a total of 100 kg contains 75 kg of inert solids and 25 kg of solution with 10 wt% oil and

90 wt% hexane. This slurry is contacted with 100 kg of pure hexane in a single stage so that the value of N for the outlet and underflow is 1.5 kg insoluble solid / kg solution retained. Calculate the amounts and compositions of the overflow V1 and underflow L1 leaving the stage

Answer:

the amounts and compositions of the overflow V1 and underflow L1 leaving the stage are 75kg and 125kg respectively.

Explanation:

Let state the given parameters;

Let A= solvent (hexane)

B= solid(inert soiid)

C= solvent(oil)

F_{solution} = mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

<u>Feed Phase:</u>

Total feed (i.e slurry of flakes soybeans)= 100kg

B= mass of solid =75 kg

F= mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

 = 25kg

Mass ratio of oil to solution Y_{F} =\frac{Mass C}{Mass (A+C)}

mass of oil (C) =25 × 0.1 wt = 2.5kg

mass of hexane  in feed = 25 ×  0.9 =22.5kg + 2.5 =25kg

therefore  Y_{F} = \frac{2.5}{25}

= 0.1

mass ratio of solid to solution Y_{A}  =  \frac{Mass A}{Mass (A+C)}=[tex]\frac{75}{25}

=3

<u>Solvent Phase:</u>

C= Mass of oil= 0(kg)

A= Mass of hexane = 100kg

mass of solutions = A+C = 0+100kg

solvent= 100kg

<u>Underflow:</u>

underflow = L₁ = (unknown) ???

L₁ = E₁ + B

the value of N for the outlet and underflow is 1.5 kg

i.e N₁ = \frac{mass B}{mass(A+C)}

solution in underflow E₁ = Mass (A+C)

<u>Overflow:</u>

Overflow = V₁ = (unknown) ???

solution in overflow V₁ = Mass (A+C)

This is because, B = 0 in overflow

Solid Balance: (since the solid is inert, then is said to be same in feed & underflow).

solid in feed = solid in underflow = 75

75=  E₁ × N₁

75 =  E₁ × 1.5

E₁ = 50kg

Underflow L₁ = E₁ × B

= 50 + 75

=125kg

The Overall Balance: Feed + Solvent = underflow + overflow

100 + 100 = 125 + V₁

V₁ = 75kg

Magnesium chloride is a salt formed with ionic bonds between one magnesium ion and two chloride ions. Magnesium has two electron
katrin [286]

Answer:

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).

The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.

The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to  attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.

The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.
