In the manufacture of paper, logs are cut into small chips, which are stirred into an alkaline solution that dissolves several o

f the chemical constituents of wood but not cellulose. The slurry of undissolved chips in solution is further processed to recover most of the original solution constituents and dried wood pulp. In one such process, wood chips with a specific gravity of 0.640 containing 45.0 wt% water are treated to produce 2000.0 tons/day of dry wood pulp containing 85.0 wt% cellulose. The wood chips contain 47.0 wt% cellulose on a dry basis. Estimate the feed rate of logs (logs/min), assuming that the logs have an average diameter of 8.00 inches and an average length of 9.00 feet. 21.67 Ulogs/min

Answer:

The estimated feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.

Explanation:

The product of the process is 2000 tons/day of dry wood pulp, of 85 wt% of cellulose. That represents (2000*0.85)=1700 tons/day of cellulose.

That cellulose has to be feed by the wood chips, which had 47 wt% of cellulose in its composition. That means you need (1700/0.47)=3617 tons/day of wood chips to provide all that cellulose.

Th entering flow is wood chips with 45 wt% of water. This solution has an specific gravity of 0.640.

To know the specific gravity of the wood chips we have to write a volume balance. We also know that Mw=0.45*M and Mc=0.55*M.

V=V_c+V_w\\\\M/\rho=M_c/\rho_c+Mw/\rho_w\\\\M/\rho=0.55*M/\rho_c+0.45*M/\rho_w\\\\1/\rho=0.55/\rho_c +0.45/\rho_w\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1/\rho-0.45/\rho_w\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1/(0.64*\rho_w)-0.45/\rho_w=(1/\rho_w)*(\frac{1}{0.64}-\frac{0.45}{1}  )\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1.1125/\rho_w\\\\\rho_c=\frac{0.55}{1.1125}*\rho_w= 0.494*\rho_w

The specific gravity of the wood chips is 0.494.

The average volume of a log is

V_l=(\pi*D^{2} /4)*L=(3.1416*\frac{8^{2}  \, in^{2} }{4} )*9ft*(\frac{12 in}{1ft})= 21714 in^{3}=12.57 ft^{3}

The weight of one log is

M=\rho*V=0.494*\rho_w*12.57  ft^{3}\\\\M=0.494*62.4\frac{lbm}{ft^{3} }*12.57ft^{3}\\\\M=387.5lbm

To provide 3617 ton/day of wood chips, we need

n=\frac{supply}{M_{log}}=\frac{3617 tons/day}{387.5 lbm}*\frac{2204lbm}{1ton}\\\\n=20573 logs/day=14.3 logs/min

The feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.

g 2BrO3- + 5SnO22-+ H2O5SnO32- + Br2+ 2OH- In the above reaction, the oxidation state of tin changes from to . How many electron
Archy [21]

Answer:

In the above reaction, the oxidation state of tin changes from 2+ to 4+.

10 moles of electrons are transferred in the reaction

Explanation:

Redox reaction is:

2BrO₃⁻ + 5SnO₂²⁻ + H2O ⇄ 5SnO₃²⁻ + Br₂ + 2OH⁻

SnO₂²⁻ → SnO₃²⁻

Tin changes the oxidation state from +2 to +4. It has increased it so this is the oxidation from the redox (it released 2 e⁻). We are in basic medium, so we add water in the side of the reaction where we have the highest amount of oxygen. We have 2 O on left side and 3 O on right side so we add 1 water on the right and we complete with OH⁻ in the opposite side to balance the H.  

SnO₂²⁻ + 2OH⁻ → SnO₃²⁻ + 2e⁻ + H₂O <u>Oxidation</u>

BrO₃⁻ →  Br₂

First of all, we have unbalance the bromine, so we add 2 on the BrO₃⁻. We have 6 O in left side and there are no O on the right, so we add 6 H₂O on the left. To balance the H, we must complete with 12OH⁻. Bromate reduces to bromine at ground state, so it gained 5e⁻. We have 2 atoms of Br, so finally it gaines 10 e⁻.

6H₂O + 10 e⁻ + 2BrO₃⁻ →  Br₂ + 12OH⁻ <u>Reduction</u>

In order to balance the main reaction and balance the electrons we multiply  (x5) the oxidation and (x1) the reduciton

(SnO₂²⁻ + 2OH⁻ → SnO₃²⁻ + 2e⁻ + H₂O) . 5

(6H₂O + 10 e⁻ + 2BrO₃⁻ →  Br₂ + 12OH⁻) . 1

5SnO₂²⁻ + 10OH⁻ + 6H₂O + 10 e⁻ + 2BrO₃⁻ → Br₂ + 12OH⁻ + 5SnO₃²⁻ + 10e⁻ + 5H₂O

We can cancel the e⁻ and we substract:

12OH⁻ - 10OH⁻ = 2OH⁻ (on the right side)

6H₂O - 5H₂O = H₂O (on the left side)

2BrO₃⁻ + 5SnO₂²⁻ + H2O ⇄ 5SnO₃²⁻ + Br₂ + 2OH⁻

Oxidation Number of fe in fe3o4​
oee [108]

Oxidation number of fe in the compound...,

Let the oxidation number of (Fe) be x

The oxidation number of oxygen(o) is (-2)

; 3x + 4(-2) = 0...where zero is the total charge on the compound(fe3o4)

; 3x = 8...then divide both sides by 3

Oxidation number of fe is( 2.67 )
