Carbon dioxide is a gaseous molecule made up of the elements, C and O. Each mole of carbon dioxide has one mole C and two mole oxygen atoms.
Molar mass of carbon dioxide ()=
Percentage by mass of carbon =
Percentage by mass of oxygen =
Therefore C is 27.3 % and O is 72.7 % by mass in 1 mol CO
This problem is describing a gas mixture whose mole fraction of hexane in nitrogen is 0.58 and which is being fed to a condenser at 75 °C and 3.0 atm, obtaining a product at 3.0 atm and 20 °C, so that the removed heat from the system is required.
In this case, it is recommended to write the enthalpy for each substance as follows:
Whereas the specific heat of liquid and gaseous n-hexane are about 200 J/(mol*K) and 160 J/(mol*K) respectively, its condensation enthalpy is 31.5 kJ/mol, boiling point is 69 °C and the specific heat of gaseous nitrogen is about 29.1 J/(mol*K) according to the NIST data tables and and
are the mole fractions in the gaseous mixture. Next, we proceed to the calculation of both heat terms as shown below:
It is seen that the heat released by the nitrogen is neglectable in comparison to n-hexanes, however, a rigorous calculation is being presented. Then, we add the previously calculated enthalpies to compute the amount of heat that is removed by the condenser:
Finally we convert this result to kJ:
