Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

So, in order to identify the electron domain geometry of a molecule (number of regions of electron density)

1) draw the full Lewis structure of the molecule/ion

2) indicate the electron pairs surrounding the central atom

3) count the number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom

4) decide on the electron pair geometry using valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.

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.

Precipitation _____. occurs equally all over the globe is the change in state from a gas to a liquid happens when ice changes in
LenKa [72]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

exceeds evaporation over land

Precipitation<u> exceeds evaporation over land </u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>In order to maintain earths water balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans but precipitation exceeds evaporation over land.</u></em>
  • Water evaporates into the atmosphere from the ocean and to a much lesser extent from the continents. Winds transport this moisture-laden air, often great distances, until conditions cause the moisture to condense into clouds and to precipitate and fall.
  • Most precipitation originates by evaporation from the oceans. Over time, water evaporated from the oceans is replenished by inflow of freshwater from rivers and streams.

When the temperature of the gas changes from cold to hot, the amount of pressure is ___________.
Klio2033 [76]
The pressure would increase. When the temperature change form cold to hot, the gas will find ways to escape from containment. Thus, if it cannot escape that pressure will keep on increasing as the temperature rises.
