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.

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts with oxygen. What is the limiting reactant in this experiment?

Mg + O2 → MgO (unbalanced)

first, balance the equation

2Mg +O2-------> 2MgO

two magnesium atoms react with one diatomic oxygen molecule

there is a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to oxygen atoms

but we have 2 moles of magnesium atoms and 2X5 = 10 moles of oxygen atoms

the lesser magnesium LIMITS the amount of product we can make, so it is the LIMITING REAGENT.

The most common source of copper (cu) is the mineral chalcopyrite (cufes2). how many kilograms of chalcopyrite must be mined to
tigry1 [53]

Answer : 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Cu = 300 g

Molar mass of Cu = 63.546 g/mole

Molar mass of CuFeS_2 = 183.511 g/mole

  • First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.

\text{ Moles of Cu}=\frac{\text{ Given mass of Cu}}{\text{ Molar mass of Cu}}= \frac{300g}{63.546g/mole}=4.7209moles

The moles of Cu = 4.7209 moles

From the given chemical formula, CuFeS_2 we conclude that the each mole of compound contain one mole of Cu.

So, The moles of Cu = Moles of CuFeS_2 = 4.4209 moles

  • Now we have to calculate the mass of CuFeS_2.

Mass of CuFeS_2 = Moles of CuFeS_2 × Molar mass of CuFeS_2 = 4.4209 moles × 183.511 g/mole = 866.337 g

Mass of CuFeS_2 = 866.337 g = 0.8663 Kg         (1 Kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of butane, C4H10, using the balanced chemical
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

-125.4

Explanation:

Target equation is 4C(s) + 5H2(g) = C4H10

These are the data equations for enthalpy of combustion

  1. C(s) + O2(g) =O2(g) -393.5 kJ/mol * 4
  2. H2(g) + ½O2(g) =H20(l) = 285.8 kJ/mol * 5
  3. 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) = 13/2O2 (g) + C4H10 - 2877.1 reverse

To get target equation multiply data equation 1 by 4; multiply equation 2 by 5; and reverse equation 3, so...

Calculate 4(-393.5) + 5(-285.8) + 2877.6 and you should get the answer.

When do epa’s refrigerant management regulations exempt refrigerant from the venting prohibition
Xelga [282]

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) refrigerant management regulations would exempt any refrigerant from venting problem when it determines that the refrigerant in an appliance do not pose a threat to the environment (surrounding) if released.

A refrigerant can be defined as any chemical substance that undergoes a phase change (liquid and gas) so as to enable the cooling and freezing of materials. They are typically used in air conditioners, refrigerators, water dispensers, etc.

In the United States of America, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a governmental agency which was established by U.S Congress and it is saddled with the responsibility of overseeing all aspects of pollution, environmental clean up, degradation, pesticide use, contamination, and hazardous waste spills. Also, EPA research solutions, policy development, and enforcement of regulations through the resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

Simply stated, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the governmental agency set up to ensure that various industries, factories and people comply with laws and regulations concerning the environment.

In conclusion, appliances such as a refrigerator, air conditioner (AC), etc., whose refrigerants do not pose a threat (potentially cause damage) to the environment if released are typically exempted by the EPA's refrigerant management regulations.
