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

a helium balloon has a volume of 2.95 liters at 25 c. the volume of the ballon decreased to 2.25 l after it is placed outside on
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The outside temperature is -45.8°C

Explanation:

When a gas keeps on constant its moles and its pressure, we can assume that volume will be increased or decreased as the T° (absolute T° in K).

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

2.95L/298K = 2.25L / T2

(2.95L/298K ) . T2 = 2.25L

T2 = 2.25L . 298K / 2.95L

T2 = 227.2K

T°K - 273 = T°C

227.2K - 273 = -45.8°C

A fluorine atom has 9 positive charge,9 negative charges and a mass of 19. Describe the structure of its atom.
Tanya [424]
The atomic structure of the atom contains 9 positively charged particles (protons) and 10 neutrally charged particles (neutrons) in the center of the atom in a clump called the nucleus. Those 9 negatively charged particles (electrons) are moving around outside of the nucleus.
There are 10 neutral charges, because the mass of 19 comes from the number of neutral charges plus the number of positive charges.
To calculate the number of neutral charges, subtract the positive charges from the mass (19 - 9), and you get the number of neutral charges (10).
