The production of ethylbenzene, a very popular industrial chemical, is carried out reacting benzene with ethylene in liquid phas

e. This reaction takes place in a series of reactors that involve multiple side reactions and intermediates. Ethylene, being the limiting reactant, is used up first and hence a considerable amount of benzene remains unreacted. From one of the reactors in the series, the exit stream is a mixture of this unreacted benzene (1), an intermediate – toluene (2), and the product ethyl benzene (3).
It is desirable to separate this liquid mixture before sending the components to the next series of reactors/process steps. So 100 mol/min of this mixture is flashed from 200 mm Hg and 50 °C to 100 mm Hg. If the mole fraction of benzene and toluene are 40% each when the mixture enters the flash distillation unit, determine if the mixture will flash completely, partially, or not at all. Assume ideal gas and ideal solution behavior for the vapor phase and liquid phase, respectively. If the mixture does flash partially, determine the composition and molar flow rates of the equilibrium streams exiting the reactor. Show all calculations by hand using your preferred method for solving simultaneous equations. Alternatively, you may use Solver (Excel) but this must be accompanied by a printout of a neatly formatted Excel sheet showing your equations and constraints.

Strontium, a group 2 element with an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 , will form a _____
amid [387]

Answer:

Strontium, a group 2 element with an electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² , will form a +2 ion in a chemical bond.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion.

So an ion is an atom or group of atoms that have an electric charge. A cation is an ion that has a positive charge.

The alkali metals in the earth (Elements IIA) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation. Strontium is an alkali metal that loses the two electrons belonging to 5s², forming the +2 ion.

How does the size of ions affect the conductivity of a solution?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Small ions have small areas. There is less resistance as they move through the solution.

For example, in molten salts, the conductivity of <span>Li+</span> is greater than that of <span>Cs+</span>.

Small ions have high charge density.
