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

Write the advantages of modern periodic table write as more as you can and don't copy the same thing​
Tema [17]

Answer:

the advantages of modern periodic tables are given below and explained.

  1. position of hydrogen:since hydrogen has the least atomic number i.e 1 ,it is kept in group 1 of modern periodic table, but still controversial due to its. dual characteristics since it shows the characteristics of borh group 1 and group 17.
  2. position of isotopes :isotopes are element having the same atomic number but different atomic weight . Without any doubt all isotopes of one element and kept in one place.
  3. position of lanthanide and acnitinides: element of Lanthanides series and element of Actinides series are kept below the main block of the periodic table as they have different properties from other elements.
  4. correction of periodic law: some elements do not obey mendeleev periodic law , but when they are arranged according to atomic number they obey the modern periodic law.
  5. position of alkali metals and coinage metals : in modern periodic table , alkali metal are kept in group IA and coinage metals are in group.

hope this helped you☺️

any confusion then comment it and let me know.

actually as I say these points say that the modern periodic table is better than mendeleev periodic table so, don't get confused.

Ammonia, NH3, is a typical ingredient in household cleaners. It is produced through a combination reaction involving N2(g) and H
GalinKa [24]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

We are given the amount of hydrogen gas to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculations.

24.0 mol H2 (2 mol NH3 / 3 mol H2 ) = 16 mol NH3

Therefore, ammonia produced from the reaction given is 16 moles.

Use mathematics to prove that the 5.50 grams of salicylic acid (C7H6O3) used in this experiment is equal to 0.04 mol.
g100num [7]

Answer:

Please find the answer to the question below

Explanation:

In chemistry, the following mathematical formula is used to calculate the number of moles contained by a substance:

mole = mass of substance (g)/molar mass of substance (g/mol)

Molar mass of salicylic acid (C7H6O3) = 12(7) + 1(6) + 16(3)

= 84 + 6 + 48

= 138g/mol

Mass = 5.50grams

mole = 5.5/138

mole = 0.039

Approximately, the number of moles of 5.5grams of salicylic acid is 0.04moles. This is in accordance with the mole value (0.04) given in this question.
