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

What is the pressure of 1.20 moles of SO2 gas in a 4L container at 30 degrees celsius
geniusboy [140]
Let suppose the Gas is acting Ideally, Then According to Ideal Gas Equation,

                                       P V  =  n R T
Solving for P,
                                       P  =  n R T / V     ----- (1)
Data Given;

Moles  = n = 1.20 mol

Volume  = V =  4 L

Temperature  = T = 30 + 273 = 303 K

Gas Constant  = R = 0.08206 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹

Putting Values in Eq.1,

                     P  =  (1.20 mol × 0.08206 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 303 K) ÷ 4 L

                     P  =  7.45 atm

For a price ceiling to be a binding constraint on the market, the government must set it a above the equilibrium price. b below
beks73 [17]

Answer:

B. Below the equilibrium price

Explanation:Price ceiling is the legal price,impose by The Government or Regulatory agencies above which a product should not be sold. It is also a price control mechanism through which the Government and other Regulatory agencies check the excesses of producers and the middle men(Whole sellers and retailers). The price ceiling has to be fixed below the equilibrium price for it to be binding, because businesses are interested mainly for profit maximization.
