When a solution of ammonium sulfate is added to a

A mixture containing 20 mole % butane, 35 mole % pentane and rest

notka56 [123]

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.

In a high-mass star, hydrogen fusion occurs via the choose one: a. spin-spin interaction. b. proton-proton chain. c. cno cycle.

Lerok [7]

In a high-mass star, hydrogen fusion occurs via the CNO (Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen) cycle.

According to the life cycle of a star, there are three main phases in the life of a star: The initial phase (a quick phase), short phase or supergiant phase and death phase or supernova explosion.

the CNO cycle means Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen cycle and this process tale place during main sequence phase.

In this phase, hydrogen fuses into helium as a result of six different reaction taking place inside a star.

The first step of the sequence begins when the nucleus of carbon 12 isotope emits gamma rays after capturing a proton and produces nitrogen-13.

This whole cycle is known as stellar nucleosynthesis.

How does insulin bind to cells and the mechanism involved in triggering the cells to take in glucose

Lera25 [3.4K]

Explanation:

Once blood glucose levels increase, pancreatic insulin migrates into a fat cell via the blood stream. Insulin then binds in the plasma membrane of the cell to an Insulin Receptor (IR). Through autophosphorylation, phosphate groups are then added to the IR, causing GLUT4 molecules to come to the cell's surface.

What are two methods of writing a balanced formula?

Irina-Kira [14]

Format Method - Writing the symbol of the cation and then the anion. Add whatever subscripts in order to balance the charges.

Crisscross Method - The numerical value of the charge of each ion is crossed over and becomes the subscripts for the other ion.

Cd(s)+2HCI(aq)---- H2(g)+CdCl2(aq). what volume in liters of 0.81m HCI solution would be needed to fully react with 32.71g Cd. a

BigorU [14]

Answer:

0.718L of 0.81M HCl are required

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

Cd(s)+2HCI(aq) → H2(g)+CdCl2(aq)

<em>1 mol of Cd reacts with 2 moles of HCl</em>

<em />

To solve this question we must, as first, find the moles of Cd. With the moles of Cd we can find the moles of HCl needed to react completely with the Cd. With the moles and the molarity we can find the volume:

<em>Moles Cd -Molar mass: 112.411g/mol-:</em>

32.71g * (1mol / 112.411g) = 0.2910 moles Cd

<em>Moles HCl:</em>

0.2910 moles Cd * (2 moles HCl / 1mol Cd) =

0.5820 moles HCl

<em>Volume:</em>

0.5820 moles HCl * (1L / 0.81moles) =

<h3>0.718L of 0.81M HCl are required</h3>
