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

Answer : The final volume of gas will be, 26.3 mL

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 0.974 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 0.993 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 27.5 mL

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 22.0^oC=273+22.0=295K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 15.0^oC=273+15.0=288K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{0.974 atm\times 27.5 mL}{295K}=\frac{0.993 atm\times V_2}{288K}

V_2=26.3mL

Therefore, the final volume of gas will be, 26.3 mL

) A children’s liquid cold medicine has a density of 1.23 g/mL. If a child is to take 2.5 tsp in a dose, what is the mass in gra
vekshin1

The relation between density and mass and volume is

Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}

the dose required is 2.5 tsp

each tsp contain 5mL

So dose required in mL = 2.5 X 5 = 12.5 mL

the mass will be calculated using following formula

Mass=DensityXvolume

Mass=1.23\frac{g}{mL}X12.5mL= 15.38g

The mass of dose in grams will be 15.38 g
