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

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The options are

A. a hypothesis

B. a theory

C. a research question

D. a scientific explanation

The answer is A. a hypothesis

Explanation:

A hypothesis is referred to as a brief explanation on the occurrence of an event.

In the example above using of warm water on plants was inferred to make it grow faster as hot water increases the metabolism.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Option B. 4 moles of the gaseous product

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Initial volume (V1) = V

Initial number of mole (n1) = 2 moles

Final volume (V2) = 2V

Final number of mole (n2) =..?

Applying the Avogadro's law equation, we can obtain the number of mole of the gaseous product as follow:

V1/n1 = V2/n2

V/2 = 2V/n2

Cross multiply

V x n2 = 2 x 2V

Divide both side by V

n2 = (2 x 2V)/V

n2 = 2 x 2

n2 = 4 moles

Therefore, 4 moles of the gaseous product were produced.
