Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The distillation is carried out at a pressure of 1 atm

The feed harbors 25% mole of methanol (z)

The total moles of feed is usually 100 moles

In the system, we have both methanol and water

Using the total mole balance for the distillation column.

Fz = Lx + Vy

where;

F = amount of feed

z = mole fraction of ethanol (in feed)

L = amount of liquid product out of the column

V = amount of vapor product out of the column

x = mole fraction of methanol out of the liquid

y  = mole fraction of methanol out of the vapor.

SO;

(a)

If all the feed is vaporized, then the vapor will likely have the same composition as the feed.

(b)

If no vaporization of the feed takes place, then the bottoms moving out of the column contains the same composition as the feed.

(c)

If 1/3 of the feed is vaporized; then 2/3 of the feed is at the bottom.

The balance equation would be:

Fz = (\dfrac{2}{3}F) x + (\dfrac{1}{3}F)y \\ \\ z = \dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{3}y

Replacing z = 0.25; we have:

0.25 = \dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{3}y

0.75 = 2x + y

(d)

If 2/3 of the feed is vaporized;

Then:

Fz = (\dfrac{1}{3}F) x + (\dfrac{2}{3}F)y \\ \\ z = \dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{2}{3}y

replacing z = 0.25

0.25 = \dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{2}{3}y

0.75 = x + 2y

Sucrose is very soluble in water. at 25◦c, 211.4 grams of sucrose will dissolve in 100 g of water. given that the density of the
stiv31 [10]
Molarity of solution is mathematically expressed as,
M = \frac{x\text{weight of solute(g)}}{\text{Molecular weight X Volume of solution(l)}}

We know that volume = mass/density
Given: mass of solution = 100 g, Density = 1.34 g/ml
∴ volume = 100/1.34 = 88.49 ml = 0.08849 l

Also, we know that molecular weight of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol
 ∴M = \frac{x\text{211.4}}{\text{342.3 X 0.08849}}
       = 6.979 M

Thus, molarity of solution is 6.979 M

Which of the following is NOT something that electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

D. In both, vibrations occur in a parallel direction to the direction of the wave.

Explanation:

It is not true that in both mechanical and electromagnetic waves, vibrations occur in  parallel direction to the direction of the wave.

As with all waves, they are disturbances that transfers energy without moving the materials of the medium.

  • Electromagnetic waves have only one way of propagation which is a vibration in both parallel and longitudinal direction.
  • Mechanical waves can be propagated either in a parallel direction or longitudinal direction and not both.
