A gas stream contains 18.0 mole% hexane and the remainder nitrogen. The stream flows to a condenser, where its temperature is re

duced and some of the hexane is liquefied. The hexane mole fraction in the gas stream leaving the condenser is 0.0500. Liquid hexane condensate is recovered at a rate of 1.50 L/min.

Answer:

the flow rate of the gas stream leaving the condenser is 71.9 moles/min

Explanation:    

Given the data in the question and the figure below;

N2 BALANCE

(100% - 18%) × ( mole rate in ) = ( 100% - 5%) × ( mole rate out)

0.82 × ( mole rate in ) = 0.95 × ( mole rate out)

mole rate in = 0.95 × ( mole rate out) / 0.82

mole rate in = 1.1585365853 × ( mole rate out)

now;

HEXANE BALANCE

0.18 × ( mole rate in ) = 0.0500 × ( mole rate out) + condensate  --- equ 1

but condensate = 1.5 L/min × ( density of hexane ) × 1/molar mass of hexane

we know that;

density of hexane is 0.6548 g/mL

and molar mass of hexane is 86.18 g/mol

so,

condensate = 1.5 L/min × ( 0.6548 g/mL × 1000 mL/L ) × ( 1/86.18 g/mol)

condensate = 11.3970758876

now lets substitute into equation 1

0.18 × ( mole rate in ) = 0.0500 × ( mole rate out) + condensate

⇒ 0.18 × ( 1.1585365853 × ( mole rate out) ) = 0.0500 × ( mole rate out) + 11.3970758876

⇒ 0.208536585354(mole rate out) = 0.0500( mole rate out) + 11.3970758876

⇒ 0.208536585354(mole rate out) - 0.0500( mole rate out) = 11.3970758876

⇒ 0.158536585354(mole rate out) = 11.3970758876

mole rate out = 11.3970758876 / 0.158536585354

mole rate out =  71.889247 ≈ 71.9 moles/min

Therefore, the flow rate of the gas stream leaving the condenser is 71.9 moles/min

yawa3891 [41]

Explanation: Skeletal muscle, attached to bones, is responsible for skeletal movements. The peripheral portion of the central nervous system (CNS) controls the skeletal muscles. Thus, these muscles are under conscious, or voluntary, control. The basic unit is the muscle fiber with many nuclei. These muscle fibers are striated (having transverse streaks) and each acts independently of neighboring muscle fibers.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

88.46%

Explanation:

Percentage yield is actual/theoretical * 100

138/156 * 100 = 88.4615385
