Answer:

2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the mass balance for each substance is given by:

Butane:z_bF=y_bD+x_bB\\\\Pentane: z_pF=y_pD+x_pB\\\\Hexane: z_hF=y_hD+x_hB

Whereas y accounts for the fractions at the outlet distillate and x for the fractions at the outlet bottoms. Moreover, with the 90 % recovery of butane, we can write:

0.9=\frac{y_bD}{z_bF}

So we can compute the product of the molar fraction of butane at the distillate by total distillate flow by assuming a 100-mol feed:

y_bD=0.9*z_bF=0.9*0.2*100mol=18mol

The total distillate flow:

y_bD=18mol\\\\D=\frac{18mol}{0.95} =18.95mol

And the total bottoms flow:

F=D+B\\\\B=F-D=100mol-18.95mol=81.05mol

Next, by using the mass balance of butane, we compute the molar fraction of butane at the bottoms:

x_b=\frac{z_bF-y_bD}{B} =\frac{0.2*100mol-18mol}{81.05} =0.025

Then, the molar fraction of pentane and hexane:

x_p=\frac{z_pF-y_pD}{B} =\frac{0.35*100mol-0.04*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.422

x_h=\frac{z_hF-y_hD}{B} =\frac{(1-0.2-0.35)*100mol-(1-0.95-0.04)*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.553

Therefore, the molar composition of the bottom product is 2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane.

NOTE: notice the result is independent of the value of the assumed feed, it means that no matter the basis, the compositions will be the same for the same recovery of butane at the feed, only the flows will change.

Regards.

Answer:

The percentage composition of the Bottoms is

- 2.46% Butane.

- 42.25% Pentane.

- 55 29% Hexane.

Explanation:

The feed is eventually separated into distillate and bottoms at the end of the day.

If the total number of moles in the feed = F, and we assume an initial basis of 100 mol

Total number of moles in the distillate = D

Total number of moles in the bottoms = B

Since distillation is a physical separation technique, with no chemical reaction expected,

The overall balance of the system,

F = 100 = B + D (eqn 1)

In the feed, there is 20 mole% of butane, 35 mole% of pentane and the rest, that is, 45 mole% of hexane.

Butane = 0.20F moles = 0 2×100 = 20 moles

Pentane = 0.35F moles = 0.35×100 = 35 moles

Hexane = 0.45F moles = 0.45×100 = 45 moles

In the distillate, there is 95 mole% of butane, 4 mole% of pentane and the rest, that is, 1 mole% is hexane

Butane = 0.95D moles

Pentane = 0.04D moles

Hexane = 0.01D moles

The composition of the Bottoms isn't known.

But, it is given that the distillate is expected to contain 90% of the butane in the feed

Component balance for butane, based on this information

Butane in the distillate = 90% of butane in feed

0.95D = 90% × 0.20F = 0.18F

Butane in the distillate = 0.95D = 0.18F

D = 0.1895F = 0.1895 × 100 = 18.95 moles

The composition of the distillate can then be rewritten as

Butane = 0.95D moles = 0.95×18.95 = 18 0025 moles

Pentane = 0.04D moles = 0.04×18.95 = 0.758 moles

Hexane = 0.01D moles = 0.01×18.95 = 0.1895 moles

From the overall balance,

100 = B + D

B = 100 - D = 100 - 18.95 = 81.05 moles

Hence, the amount of each component in the Bottoms now will be the amount in the feed minus the amount in the distillate

Butane

20 - 18.0025 = 1.9975 moles

Percent compositon = (1.9975/81.05) = 0.0246 = 2.46%

Pentane

35 - 0.758 = 34.242 moles

Percent composition = (34.242/81.05) = 0.4225 = 42.25%

Hexane

45 - 0.1895 = 44.8105 moles

Percent composition = (44.8105/81.05) = 0.5529 = 55.29%

Please note that, irrespective of the assumed basis for the total number of moles in the feed, the molar composition of the bottoms obtained, remains the same.

Hope this Helps!

A bottle of wine contains 0.21 moles of ethanol,C2H5OH. The volume of the solution is 0.1 L. Calculate the molarity.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

2.1mol/L

Explanation:

Number of moles = 0.21 moles

Volume = 0.1L

Molarity of a substance is the number of moles of solute dissolved in a volume of solvent (L)

Molarity = number of moles / volume of solvent

Molarity = 0.21 / 0.1

Molarity = 2.1mol/L

Explain why CaCl2 is likely to have properties similar to those of CaBr2
qaws [65]

Answer:

Because both CaCl2 and CaBr2 both contain elements (Chlorine and Bromine) from the same group (group 7)

Explanation:

Elements are placed into different groups in the periodic table. Elements in the same group are those that have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell and as a result will behave similar chemically i.e. will react with other elements in the same manner.

Chlorine and Bromine are two elements belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. They are called HALOGENS and they have seven valence electrons in their outermost shell. Hence, when they form a compound with Calcium, a group two element, these compounds (CaCl2 and CaBr2) will possess similar properties because they have elements that are from the same group (halogen group).

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 65.8 grams of water from 31.5ºC to 46.9ºC?
vodomira [7]

Answer: 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J

Explanation:

1) Data:

Water ⇒ C = 1 cal/g°C

m = 65.8 g

Ti = 31.5°C

Tf = 36.9°C

Heat, Q = ?

2) Formula:

Q = mCΔT

3) Calculations:

Q = 65.8g × 1 cal/g°C × (46.9°C - 31.5°C) = 1,013.2 cal

4) You can convert from calories to Joules using the conversion factor:

1 cal = 4.18 J

⇒ 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J
