A gas stream containing n-hexane in nitrogen with a relative saturation of 0.58 (as a fraction, multiply by 100% if you prefer %

) is fed to a condenser at 75 deg C and 3.0 atm absolute. The product gas stream and condensed hexane stream emerge at 20 deg C and 3.0 atm absolute. Calculate the amount of heat flow in kJ required per gmol of hexane condensed. Your answer will be negative.

This problem is describing a gas mixture whose mole fraction of hexane in nitrogen is 0.58 and which is being fed to a condenser at 75 °C and 3.0 atm, obtaining a product at 3.0 atm and 20 °C, so that the removed heat from the system is required.

In this case, it is recommended to write the enthalpy for each substance as follows:

H_{C-6}=y_{C-6}C_v(T_b-Ti)+\Delta _vH+C_v(T_f-Tb)\\\\H_{N_2}=y_{N_2}C_v(T_f-Ti)

Whereas the specific heat of liquid and gaseous n-hexane are about 200 J/(mol*K) and 160 J/(mol*K) respectively, its condensation enthalpy is 31.5 kJ/mol, boiling point is 69 °C and the specific heat of gaseous nitrogen is about 29.1 J/(mol*K) according to the NIST data tables and y_{C-6} and y_{N_2} are the mole fractions in the gaseous mixture. Next, we proceed to the calculation of both heat terms as shown below:

H_{C-6}=0.58*200(69-75)+(-31500)+160(20-69)=-40036J/mol\\\\H_{N_2}=0.42*29.1(20-75)=-672.21J/mol

It is seen that the heat released by the nitrogen is neglectable in comparison to n-hexanes, however, a rigorous calculation is being presented. Then, we add the previously calculated enthalpies to compute the amount of heat that is removed by the condenser:

Q=-40036+(-672.21)=-40708.21J

Finally we convert this result to kJ:

Q=-40708.21J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}\\\\Q=-40.7kJ

Which of the following Period 4 elements has the most metallic characteristics?
stealth61 [152]
The scale of most metal characteristics goes from the bottom left-hand corner.

The least metallic is the top right-hand.

So then that means that

Calcium-YES, second column
Germanium-No, to far, in the middle
Arsenic-Non-metal,
Bromine, same for this

Calcium
