Separation units often use membranes, absorbers, and other devices to reduce the mole fraction of selected con- stituents in gas

eous mixtures. Consider a mixture of hydro- carbons that consists of 60 percent (by volume) methane, 30 percent ethane, and 10 percent propane. After passing through a separator, the mole fraction of the propane is reduced to 1 percent. The mixture pressure before and after the separa- tion is 100 kPa. Determine the change in the partial pressures of all the constituents in the mixture

Answer:

ΔP(ch4) = 6kPa

ΔP(c2h6) = 3kPa

ΔP(c3h8) = -9kPa

Explanation:

first, we find the factor that is used in the determination of mole fraction of the other components using the mole fraction of propane, both at the beginning and at the end. This means

β/(0.6+0.3+β) = 0.01

β = 0.009 + 0.01β

β - 0.01β = 0.009

0.99β = 0.009

β = 0.00909

the mole fractions of the methane and ethane at the end are

yCH4 = 0.6/(0.6 + 0.3 +0.00909)

yCH4 = 0.6/0.90909

yCH4 = 0.66

yC2H6 = 0.3/(0.6 + 0.3 + 0.00909

yC2H6 = 0.3/0.90909

yC2H6 = 0.33

Now, the change in partial pressure will be determined from the mole fraction at the beginning and at the end

ΔP(ch4) = (y2 - y1)ch4 * P

ΔP(ch4) = (0.66 - 0.6) * 100

ΔP(ch4) = 6kPa

ΔP(c2h6) = (y2 - y1)c2h6 * P

ΔP(c2h6) = (0.33 - 0.3) * 100

ΔP(c2h6) = 3kPa

ΔP(c3h8) = (y2 - y1)c3h8 * P

ΔP(c3h8) = (0.01 - 0.1) * 100

ΔP(c3h8) = -9kPa

Therefore

ΔP(ch4) = 6kPa

ΔP(c2h6) = 3kPa

ΔP(c3h8) = -9kPa

What is the oxidation number of chlorine in HClO4?
Elza [17]

CIO4-=-1

CI=4O=-1

O has a 2- oxidation change so

CI+4(-2)=-1

CI+(-8)=-1

CI=-1+8=7

So the oxidation number of chlorine is 7 in this case

When 12 moles of methanol (ch3oh) and 24 moles of oxygen gas react according to the chemical equation below, what is the limitin
Nataliya [291]
The balanced reaction equation for the reaction between CH₃OH and O₂ is 
                        2CH₃OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)
Initial moles        12                24
Reacted moles   12                18
Final moles          -                   6              12               24
 
The stoichiometric ratio between CH₃OH and O₂ is 2 : 3
Hence,
   reacted moles of O₂ = reacted moles of CH₃OH x (3/2)
                                      = 12 mol x 3 / 2  
                                      = 18 mol

All of CH₃OH moles react with O₂.

Hence, the limiting agent is CH₃OH. 

Excess reagent is O₂.
Amount of moles of excess reagent left = 24 - 18 mol = 6 mol
