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 certain first-order reaction is 27.5 percent complete in 8.90 min at 25°C. What is its rate constant?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

k= 0.145min^{-1}

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out necessary for us remember that the first-order kinetics is given by:

ln(A/A_0)=-kt

Whereas the 27.5% complete means A/Ao=0.275, and thus, we solve for the rate constant as follows:

k=\frac{ln(A/A_0)}{-t}

Then, we plug in the variables to obtain:

k=\frac{ln(0.275)}{-8.90min}\\\\k= 0.145min^{-1}

Regards!

What is the potential energy of the bowling ball as it sits on top of the building?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Potential energy is energy due to an object's height above the ground.

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height

Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity²
