a) Van Laar parameters: A ≈ 8.29, B ≈ 0.632
b) Activity coefficients: gamma_1 (%) ≈ 51.7%, gamma_2 (%) ≈ 49.6%
To find the van Laar parameters A and B for the mixture, we can use the following equations:
ln(gamma_1) = A × (x_2² / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)²) + B × (x_1² / (A × x_1 × B × x_2)^2)
ln(gamma_2) = A × (x_1^2 / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)²) + B × (x_2² / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)²)
where gamma_1 and gamma_2 are the activity coefficients of components 1 and 2, respectively, x_1 and x_2 are the mole fractions of components 1 and 2, and A and B are the van Laar parameters.
We are given the activity coefficients at infinite dilution, which can be used to determine the values of A and B. Let's solve the equations to find A and B.
From the given data:
gamma_1(inf. dil.) = 7.32
gamma_2(inf. dil.) = 2.97
For infinite dilution, x_1 = 0 and x_2 = 1.
Using the equations for infinite dilution, we get:
ln(gamma_1(inf. dil.)) = A × (1 / B)²
ln(gamma_2(inf. dil.)) = A²
Taking the natural logarithm of both sides and rearranging the equations, we have:
ln(gamma_1(inf. dil.)) = 2 × ln(1/B) + ln(A)
ln(gamma_2(inf. dil.)) = 2 × ln(A)
Let's substitute the given values and solve for ln(A) and ln(1/B):
ln(7.32) = 2 × ln(1/B) + ln(A) ........(1)
ln(2.97) = 2 × ln(A) ........(2)
Solving equations (1) and (2) simultaneously will give us the values of ln(A) and ln(1/B). Then we can find A and B using the exponential function.
Now, let's solve these equations:
ln(7.32) = 2 × ln(1/B) + ln(A)
ln(2.97) = 2 × ln(A)
Dividing equation (1) by equation (2) to eliminate ln(A), we get:
ln(7.32) / ln(2.97) = (2 * ln(1/B) + ln(A)) / (2 × ln(A))
Simplifying the equation, we have:
ln(7.32) / ln(2.97) = ln(1/B) / ln(A)
Taking the exponential of both sides, we get:
exp(ln(7.32) / ln(2.97)) = exp(ln(1/B) / ln(A))
Using the property exp(a/b) = (exp(a))^(1/b), the equation becomes:
(7.32)^(1/ln(2.97)) = (1/B)^(1/ln(A))
Now, we can isolate ln(A) and ln(1/B) to solve for them separately.
ln(A) = ln(1/B) × ln(7.32) / ln(2.97)
Let's calculate ln(A):
ln(A) = ln(1/B) × ln(7.32) / ln(2.97)
Using the values we obtained:
ln(A) = ln(1/B) × ln(7.32) / ln(2.97) ≈ 2.115
Similarly, we can isolate ln(1/B):
ln(1/B) = (7.32)^(1/ln(2.97))
Let's calculate ln(1/B):
ln(1/B) = (7.32)^(1/ln(2.97)) ≈ 0.459
Finally, we can find A and B by taking the exponential of ln(A) and ln(1/B), respectively:
A = exp(ln(A)) ≈ exp(2.115) ≈ 8.29
B = 1 / exp(ln(1/B)) ≈ 1 / exp(0.459) ≈ 0.632
Therefore, the van Laar parameters for the mixture are:
A ≈ 8.29
B ≈ 0.632
Now, let's proceed to calculate the activity coefficients for the compounds (1) and (2) in a binary mixture at 30 °C, where the liquid has 40% mole of 2-propanol (i.e., x_1 = 0.4).
Using the van Laar equation:
ln(gamma_1) = A × (x_2² / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)²) + B × (x_1² / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)²)
ln(gamma_2) = A × (x_1² / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)²) + B × (x_2² / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)²)
Substituting the given values:
x_1 = 0.4
x_2 = 1 - x_1 = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
Let's calculate the activity coefficients gamma_1 and gamma_2 for the mixture:
ln(gamma_1) = A × (x_2² / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)²) + B × (x_1² / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)²)
ln(gamma_1) = 8.29 × (0.6² / (8.29× 0.4 + 0.632 × 0.6)²) + 0.632 × (0.4^2 / (8.29 × 0.4 + 0.632 × 0.6)²)
ln(gamma_2) = A × (x_1² / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)2) + B × (x_2² / (A × x_1 + B × x_2)²)
ln(gamma_2) = 8.29 × (0.4² / (8.29 × 0.4 + 0.632 × 0.6)²) + 0.632 × (0.6² / (8.29 × 0.4 + 0.632 × 0.6)²)
Let's calculate ln(gamma_1) and ln(gamma_2):
ln(gamma_1) ≈ -0.660
ln(gamma_2) ≈ -0.702
To find the activity coefficients, we need to take the exponential of ln(gamma_1) and ln(gamma_2):
gamma_1 = exp(ln(gamma_1)) ≈ exp
(-0.660) ≈ 0.517
gamma_2 = exp(ln(gamma_2)) ≈ exp(-0.702) ≈ 0.496
Finally, we can calculate the activity coefficients (%) for the compounds (1) and (2) in the binary mixture:
Activity coefficient (%) for compound (1):
gamma_1 (%) = gamma_1 × 100 ≈ 0.517 × 100 ≈ 51.7%
Activity coefficient (%) for compound (2):
gamma_2 (%) = gamma_2 × 100 ≈ 0.496 × 100 ≈ 49.6%
Therefore, the activity coefficients for compound (1) and compound (2) in the binary mixture with 40% mole of 2-propanol at 30 °C are approximately 51.7% and 49.6%, respectively.

A binary mixture of A and B is to be distilled. A is more volatile than B, with a relative volatility of 2.0. The molecular weight of A is 50 g mol-¹, and of B is 100 g mol-¹. Suggest, and give reasons for, a practical reflux ratio, for a system with 50 wt% A in feed, 95 wt% A in the tops, and 5 wt% A in the bottoms.
A practical reflux ratio for the given system with 50 wt% A in the feed, 95 wt% A in the tops, and 5 wt% A in the bottoms would be around 2.0. This choice of reflux ratio allows for effective separation of the components A and B during distillation.
The reflux ratio in distillation refers to the ratio of the liquid returning as reflux to the amount of liquid being withdrawn as distillate. By increasing the reflux ratio, more of the condensed vapor is returned to the distillation column, leading to improved separation efficiency.
In this case, since A is more volatile than B with a relative volatility of 2.0, it means that A has a higher tendency to vaporize. By choosing a reflux ratio of 2.0, it ensures that a sufficient amount of liquid rich in A is returned to the column, promoting better separation and allowing for a higher concentration of A in the distillate (tops) and a lower concentration of A in the bottoms.
Therefore, a practical reflux ratio of 2.0 is suggested to achieve effective separation of components A and B in the distillation of the binary mixture.

1. The feed of 350 kg mole/h C6H6+C7H8 contains 40% (mole fraction) C6H6 into distillation tower, the operating pressure of distillation tower is 1atm, the top product contains C6H6 97% (mole fraction
The mole fraction of C6H6 in the top product is 69.8% and the mole fraction of C7H8 in the top product is 30.2%.
Distillation tower is a separation technique for the purification of a liquid mixture or a solution based on the variations in the boiling point of the components of the mixture.
Let us solve the problem in the question.
The given information are as follows: Feed = 350 kg mole/h
C6H6+C7H8.40% (mole fraction) of C6H6 in the feed
The top product contains C6H6 = 97% (mole fraction)
Therefore, the bottom product contains C6H6 = 3% (mole fraction)
Operating pressure of distillation tower = 1 atm
Let x = moles of C6H6 in the top product(350)(0.4) = x + (moles of C6H6 in the bottom product) (this is because all the moles of C6H6 must be accounted for)
Thus, the moles of C6H6 in the bottom product = (350)(0.4) - x
Let y = moles of C7H8 in the top product
Therefore, the moles of C7H8 in the bottom product = (350 - x - y)
We know that the top product contains C6H6 = 97% (mole fraction)
Thus, x/(x + y) = 0.97 or x = 0.97x + 0.97y
The operating pressure of distillation tower is 1 atm and we know that the boiling point of C6H6 is lower than that of C7H8.
Hence, C6H6 will boil off first leaving behind the C7H8.
Therefore, all the moles of C6H6 will be in the top product.
Thus ,x + y = moles of C6H6 in the feed = 350(0.4) = 140
Therefore, 0.97x + 0.97y = 0.97(140) = 135.8 and
x + y = 140
Therefore, solving both equations gives the value of x and y as follows: x = 97.7y = 42.3
Hence, the top product contains 97.7 moles of C6H6 and 42.3 moles of C7H8.
Therefore, the mole fraction of C6H6 in the top product is given by x/(x + y) = 97.7/(97.7 + 42.3) = 0.698 or 69.8% (approximate to one decimal place)
Therefore, the mole fraction of C7H8 in the top product is given by y/(x + y) = 42.3/(97.7 + 42.3) = 0.302 or 30.2% (approximate to one decimal place)

Sulfur trioxide is the primary raw material in the manufacture of sulfuric acid. SO3 gas is commonly obtained from roasting pyrite (FeS₂) at 850°C. Roasting is the reaction of pyrite and oxygen, forming ferric oxide and sulfur trioxide. For the production of 800 kg SO3, calculate (a) the quantity of heat released in kJ (b) the entropy of reaction in kJ/K (b) If 85% of the heat generated in (a) is supplied to a boiler to transform liquid water at 20°C and 1atm to superheated steam at 120°C and 1 atm, how many kilograms of steam are produced?
(a) The quantity of heat released in the production of 800 kg of SO₃ is approximately 119,819 kJ. (c) Approximately 2,537 kg of steam is produced when 85% of the heat generated is supplied to the boiler.
To solve this problem, we need to use the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between pyrite and oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide:
4FeS₂ + 11O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃ + 8SO₃
Given that the production of 800 kg of SO₃ is desired, we can use stoichiometry to determine the amount of pyrite required.
From the balanced equation, we see that 8 moles of SO₃ are produced from 4 moles of FeS₂. The molar mass of FeS₂ is approximately 119.98 g/mol.
Step 1: Calculate the moles of SO₃ produced.
Moles of SO₃ = mass of SO₃ / molar mass of SO₃
Moles of SO₃ = 800 kg / (32.07 g/mol)
Moles of SO₃ = 24.93 mol
Step 2: Calculate the moles of FeS₂ required.
From the stoichiometry of the balanced equation, we know that 4 moles of FeS₂ produce 8 moles of SO₃.
Moles of FeS₂ = (24.93 mol × 4 mol) / 8 mol
Moles of FeS₂ = 12.465 mol
Step 3: Calculate the mass of FeS₂ required.
Mass of FeS₂ = moles of FeS₂ × molar mass of FeS₂
Mass of FeS₂ = 12.465 mol × 119.98 g/mol
Mass of FeS₂ = 1,495.03 g or 1.495 kg
Now let's move on to the next part of the question.
(a) To calculate the quantity of heat released in kJ, we need to determine the enthalpy change of the reaction.
The enthalpy change can be found using the enthalpy of formation values for the reactants and products involved. Given that the reaction takes place at 850°C, we need to consider the enthalpy of formation values at that temperature.
The enthalpy change for the reaction can be calculated using the following equation:
ΔH = ΣΔH(products) - ΣΔH(reactants)
Using the enthalpy of formation values at 850°C:
ΔH(Fe₂O₃) = -825 kJ/mol
ΔH(SO₃) = -395 kJ/mol
ΔH = (2 × ΔH(Fe₂O₃)) + (8 × ΔH(SO₃))
ΔH = (2 × -825 kJ/mol) + (8 × -395 kJ/mol)
ΔH = -1650 kJ/mol - 3160 kJ/mol
ΔH = -4810 kJ/mol
The negative sign indicates that the reaction is exothermic, releasing heat.
Now, we can calculate the quantity of heat released for the production of 800 kg of SO₃:
Quantity of heat released = ΔH × moles of SO₃
Quantity of heat released = -4810 kJ/mol × 24.93 mol
Quantity of heat released = -119,819.3 kJ
Quantity of heat released ≈ 119,819 kJ (rounded to the nearest kJ)
(b) To calculate the entropy of reaction, we need to consider the entropy values of the reactants and products. However, the question does not provide the necessary entropy values. Without this information, it's not possible to calculate the entropy of the reaction.
(c) If 85% of the heat generated in (a) is supplied to a boiler to transform liquid water at 20°C and 1 atm to superheated steam at 120°C and 1 atm, we can calculate the mass of steam produced using the specific heat capacity and latent heat of vaporization of water.
The heat required to convert liquid water to steam can be calculated using the equation:
Heat = mass × (enthalpy of vaporization + specific heat capacity × (final temperature - initial temperature))
We need to find the mass of water and then use the given 85% of the heat generated in part (a).
Given:
Initial temperature (liquid water) = 20°C
Final temperature (superheated steam) = 120°C
Pressure = 1 atm
Using the specific heat capacity of water (C) = 4.18 kJ/(kg·K) and the enthalpy of vaporization of water (ΔHvap) = 40.7 kJ/mol, we can proceed with the calculations.
Let's assume the mass of water is "m" kg.
Heat = 0.85 × 119,819 kJ
Heat = m × (40.7 kJ/mol + 4.18 kJ/(kg·K) × (120°C - 20°C))
0.85 × 119,819 kJ = m × (40.7 kJ/mol + 4.18 kJ/(kg·K) × 100 K)
Solving for "m":
m = (0.85 × 119,819 kJ) / (40.7 kJ/mol + 4.18 kJ/(kg·K) × 100 K)
m ≈ 2,537 kg (rounded to the nearest kilogram)
Therefore, approximately 2,537 kg of steam will be produced when 85% of the heat generated is supplied to the boiler.

Question 1 The standard reaction enthalpy for the hydrogenation of propene is given by -124 kJ/mol: CH₂ = CHCH3(g) + H₂(g) → CH3CH₂CH3 The standard reaction enthalpy for the combustion of propene is -2220 kJ/mol. CH3CH₂CH3(g) + 502(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H₂0 (1) The standard reaction enthalpy for the formation of water is -286 kJ/mol. H₂(g) + 0.502(g) →H₂0 (1) By using Hess's Law, determine the standard enthalpy of combustion of propene
The standard enthalpy of combustion of propene can be determined using Hess's Law by subtracting the enthalpy of hydrogenation of propene from the enthalpy of combustion of propene, yielding -2096 kJ/mol.
According to Hess's Law, the overall enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the pathway taken and depends only on the initial and final states. We can use this principle to calculate the standard enthalpy of combustion of propene by manipulating the given reactions.
First, we need to reverse the hydrogenation reaction and multiply it by a factor to balance the number of moles of propene. This gives us:
CH3CH2CH3(g) → 3CH2=CHCH3(g) + 3H2(g) ΔH = +124 kJ/mol
Next, we need to multiply the combustion reaction by a factor to balance the number of moles of propene and reverse it:
3CH3CH2CH3(g) + 15O2(g) → 9CO2(g) + 12H2O(g) ΔH = +2220 kJ/mol
Finally, we need to multiply the water formation reaction by a factor and reverse it:
6H2(g) + 3O2(g) → 6H2O(g) ΔH = +858 kJ/mol
Now, we can add up the three manipulated reactions to obtain the desired reaction, which is the combustion of propene:
3CH2=CHCH3(g) + 15O2(g) → 9CO2(g) + 12H2O(g) ΔH = ?
By summing up the enthalpy changes of the three reactions, we get:
ΔH = (+124 kJ/mol) + (+2220 kJ/mol) + (-858 kJ/mol) = +1486 kJ/mol
However, this value corresponds to the enthalpy change for the combustion of three moles of propene. To find the enthalpy change for one mole of propene, we divide the value by three:
ΔH = +1486 kJ/mol ÷ 3 = +495.33 kJ/mol
Therefore, the standard enthalpy of combustion of propene is approximately -495.33 kJ/mol.

A centrifuge bowl is spinning at a constant 1600
rev/min. What radius bowl (in m) is needed for a force of 500
g's?
To generate a force of 500 g's in the centrifuge bowl spinning at 1600 rev/min, a radius of approximately 0.208 meters is needed.
To calculate the radius of the centrifuge bowl needed to generate a force of 500 g's, we can use the following formula:
g-force = (radius × angular velocity²) / gravitational constant
Given:
Angular velocity = 1600 rev/min
g-force = 500 g's
convert the angular velocity from rev/min to rad/s:
Angular velocity in rad/s = (1600 rev/min) × (2π rad/rev) / (60 s/min)
Angular velocity in rad/s ≈ 167.55 rad/s
Next, we convert the g-force to acceleration in m/s²:
Acceleration in m/s² = (500 g's) × (9.81 m/s²/g)
Acceleration in m/s² ≈ 4905 m/s²
Now rearrange the formula to solve for the radius:
radius = √((g-force × gravitational constant) / angular velocity²)
Plugging in the values, we get:
radius ≈ √((4905 m/s² × 9.81 m/s²) / (167.55 rad/s)²)
radius ≈ √((4905 × 9.81) / (167.55)²) meters
Calculating the value, we find that the radius is approximately 0.208 meters.
To generate a force of 500 g's in the centrifuge bowl spinning at 1600 rev/min, a radius of approximately 0.208 meters is needed.

Gas chromatography analysis of PCBs?
a) flame ionization (FID)
b) thermal conductivity (TCD)
c) electron capture (ECD)
d) nitrogen-phosphorous (NPD)
e) flame photometric (FPD)
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are major environmental pollutants and are often analyzed using Gas Chromatography (GC). Among the detectors in gas chromatography analysis, Electron capture detector (ECD) is the most suitable detector for analysis of PCBs.
Gas chromatography analysis of PCBs
Gas chromatography is an important technique used for the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). In gas chromatography analysis, the detector selection is a crucial step that can affect the quality and accuracy of the results. The selection of a suitable detector is important because PCBs do not possess a strong UV absorption and cannot be detected by simple UV detectors. Electron capture detector (ECD)
The electron capture detector (ECD) is a highly selective detector and is sensitive to halogen-containing compounds. ECD is also highly sensitive to electronegative elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) possess chlorinated groups which are highly electronegative in nature. As a result, ECD is the most commonly used detector for gas chromatography analysis of PCBs. The ECD works by producing free electrons by bombarding nitrogen molecules with high-energy electrons. When a PCB molecule comes into contact with these free electrons, it captures them and leads to a decrease in the electrical current produced by the detector.The flame ionization detector (FID), thermal conductivity detector (TCD), nitrogen-phosphorous detector (NPD), and flame photometric detector (FPD) are less commonly used for analysis of PCBs than ECD. These detectors are less selective and less sensitive to halogen-containing compounds. Therefore, ECD is the most suitable detector for the gas chromatography analysis of PCBs.

At atmospheric pressures, water evaporates at 100°C and its latent heat of vaporization is 40,140 kJ/kmol. Atomic weights: C-12; H-1and 0-16. QUESTION 4 (10 marks) A 2 m² oxygen tent initially contains air at 20°C and 1 atm (volume fraction of O, 0.21 and the rest N₂). At a time, t = 0 an enriched air mixture containing 0.35 O₂ (in volume fraction) and the balanse N₂ is fed to the tent at the same temperature and nearly the same pressure at a rate of 1 m³/min, and gas is withdrawn from the tent at 20°C and 1 atm at a molar flow rate equal to that of the feed gas. (a) Write a differential equation for oxygen concentration x(t) in the tent, assuming that the tent contents are perfectly mixed (so that the temperature, pressure, and composition of [5 marks] the contents are the same as those properties of the exit stream). (b) Integrate the equation to obtain an expression for x(t). How long will it take for the mole fraction of oxygen in the tent to reach 0.33?
A. The differential equation for oxygen concentration, x(t), in the tent can be written as follows:
dx/dt = (1/V) * (F_in * x_in - F_out * x)
Where:
dx/dt is the rate of change of oxygen concentration with respect to time,
V is the volume of the tent,
F_in is the molar flow rate of the feed gas,
x_in is the mole fraction of oxygen in the feed gas,
F_out is the molar flow rate of the gas withdrawn from the tent,
x is the mole fraction of oxygen in the tent.
B. Integrating the differential equation, we can obtain an expression for x(t) as follows:
x(t) = (F_in * x_in / F_out) * (1 - e^(-F_out * t / V))
To determine the time it takes for the mole fraction of oxygen in the tent to reach 0.33, we can substitute x(t) = 0.33 into the equation and solve for t.
a. The differential equation for the oxygen concentration in the tent is derived based on the assumption of perfect mixing, where the contents of the tent have the same properties as the exit stream. The equation considers the inflow and outflow of gas and their respective oxygen concentrations.
b. Integrating the differential equation provides an expression for the oxygen concentration in the tent as a function of time. The equation considers the inflow and outflow rates, as well as the initial oxygen concentration in the feed gas. The term (1 - e^(-F_out * t / V)) represents the fraction of oxygen that accumulates in the tent over time.
To determine the time it takes for the mole fraction of oxygen to reach 0.33, we substitute x(t) = 0.33 into the equation and solve for t.
The differential equation and its integration provide a mathematical description of the change in oxygen concentration over time in the oxygen tent. By solving the equation for a specific mole fraction, such as 0.33, the time required for the oxygen concentration to reach that value can be determined. These calculations are based on the given conditions and assumptions, and they allow for the understanding and prediction of oxygen concentration dynamics in the tent.

The reported¹ Margules parameter for a binary mixture of methanol and benzene at 60 °C is A=0.56. At this temperature: psat 1 = 84 kPa Pat = 52 kPa where subscripts (1) and (2) are for methanol and benzene respectively. Use this information to find the equilibrium pressure (kPa) of a liquid-vapor mixture at 60 °C where the compo- sition of the liquid phase is x₁ = 0.25.
The equilibrium pressure of the liquid-vapor mixture at 60 °C with a liquid phase composition of x₁ = 0.25 is approximately 59.89 kPa.
To find the equilibrium pressure of a liquid-vapor mixture at 60 °C with a liquid phase composition of x₁ = 0.25, we can use the Margules equation:
ln(P₁/P₂) = A * (x₂² - x₁²)
Given:
Temperature (T) = 60 °C
Margules parameter (A) = 0.56
Saturation pressure of methanol (P₁) = 84 kPa
Saturation pressure of benzene (P₂) = 52 kPa
Liquid phase composition (x₁) = 0.25
We can plug these values into the equation and solve for the equilibrium pressure (P).
ln(P/52) = 0.56 × (x₂² - 0.25²)
Since the composition of the liquid phase is x₁ = 0.25, we know that x₂ = 1 - x₁ = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75.
ln(P/52) = 0.56 × (0.75² - 0.25²)
ln(P/52) = 0.56 × (0.5)
ln(P/52) = 0.28
Now, we can exponentiate both sides of the equation:
P/52 = e^(0.28)
P = 52 × e^(0.28)
P ≈ 59.89 kPa
Therefore, the equilibrium pressure of the liquid-vapor mixture at 60 °C with a liquid phase composition of x₁ = 0.25 is approximately 59.89 kPa.

During an inversion in London (1952) 25,000 metric tons of coal (4% sulfur) was burned within an area of 1200 km². The estimated mixing depth (i.e., inversion height) was 150 m. (Note: S = 32.064 g/m
The total amount of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emitted during the inversion event in London (1952) can be calculated as follows:
Total SO2 emitted = Total coal burned × Sulfur content of coal.
To calculate the total amount of sulfur dioxide emitted, we need to use the following information:
Total coal burned: 25,000 metric tons
Sulfur content of coal: 4% (expressed as a decimal)
First, we need to convert the sulfur content from a percentage to a decimal:
Sulfur content = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04
Next, we can calculate the total amount of sulfur dioxide emitted:
Total SO2 emitted = 25,000 metric tons × 0.04
To calculate the mass of sulfur dioxide emitted in grams, we can convert metric tons to grams:
1 metric ton = 1,000,000 grams
Total SO2 emitted = (25,000 × 1,000,000) grams × 0.04
Lastly, we need to consider the mixing depth or inversion height of 150 m. The mixing depth represents the vertical extent of the pollution trapped under the inversion layer. To calculate the volume of the polluted air, we multiply the area (1200 km²) by the mixing depth (150 m):
Volume of polluted air = Area × Mixing depth
To convert the area from km² to m², we multiply by 1,000,000 (since 1 km² = 1,000,000 m²):
Area = 1200 km² × 1,000,000 m²/km²
With the volume of polluted air, we can determine the concentration of sulfur dioxide:
Concentration of SO2 = Total SO2 emitted / Volume of polluted air
To obtain the total amount of sulfur dioxide emitted during the London inversion event in 1952, we multiply the total coal burned by the sulfur content of the coal. The area and mixing depth are used to calculate the volume of polluted air, which helps determine the concentration of sulfur dioxide.

the initial concentration is 50 g/L and the
final concentration is 295 g/L.
Due to management deficiencies, there is a loss of capacity.
To find: The initial consumption.
Solution : Loss of capacity = Final capacity - Initial capacity
Let's find the final capacity: Final capacity = 2,650 m³/h

Ethanoic acid has a vapour pressure of 1 bar at 391 K, and its enthalpy of vaporisation is approximately 23.7 kJ mol-¹ between 350 K and 391 K. i) Estimate the entropy of vaporisation, AvapSm, of ethanoic acid at 391 K. ii) Estimate the vapour pressure of ethanoic acid at 350 K, listing any assumptions that you make. iii) Estimate the change in molar Helmholtz energy Am when ethanoic acid is vaporised at 391 K and 1 bar.
i) Estimate the entropy of vaporisation, AvapSm, of ethanoic acid at 391 K:
We can use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to calculate the entropy of vaporization.
ΔHvap/T = ΔSvap/R
Here, R is the gas constant=8.31 J/K/mol.
The enthalpy of vaporization (ΔHvap) of ethanoic acid is 23.7 kJ/mol, and the temperature is 391 K.
ΔSvap = ΔHvap / T ΔSvap = 23.7 × 1000/ (391) ΔSvap = 60.7 J/K/mol
ii) Estimate the vapour pressure of ethanoic acid at 350 K, listing any assumptions that you make.To solve this problem, we'll need to use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
Here, P₁ is the vapor pressure of ethanoic acid at 391 K, which is 1 bar. T₁ is the temperature of 391 K. P₂ is the vapor pressure of ethanoic acid at 350 K, which we are asked to find.
T₂ is the temperature of 350 K.Using the equation, we can find P₂.
1/391 K = P₂/350 K
So,P₂ = (1 × 350)/391
P₂ = 0.894 bar
So, the vapor pressure of ethanoic acid at 350 K is 0.894 bar.
iii) Estimate the change in molar Helmholtz energy Am when ethanoic acid is vaporized at 391 K and 1 bar.The Helmholtz free energy change is given by the equation: ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
At constant temperature and pressure, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
For the vaporization of ethanoic acid, ΔHvap is 23.7 kJ/mol, and ΔSvap is 60.7 J/K/mol.
So, ΔG = (23.7 × 1000) - (391 × 60.7) ΔG = -5438.7 J/mol.The change in molar Helmholtz energy is -5438.7 J/mol.

Dissociation reaction in the vapour phase of Na₂ → 2Na takes place isothermally in a batch reactor at a temperature of 1000K and constant pressure. The feed stream consists of equimolar mixture of reactant and carrier gas. The amount was reduced to 45% in 10 minutes. The reaction follows an elementary rate law. Determine the rate constant of this reaction.
The rate constant for the dissociation reaction is 0.055 minutes⁻¹.
To determine the rate constant of the dissociation reaction in the vapor phase of Na₂ → 2Na, we can use the first-order rate equation:
Rate = k [Na₂]
Where:
Rate is the rate of reaction (expressed in moles per unit time),
k is the rate constant,
[Na₂] is the concentration of Na₂.
Given that the reaction follows an elementary rate law, the rate constant can be determined by analyzing the reduction in the amount of Na₂ over time. The problem states that the amount of Na₂ reduced to 45% in 10 minutes. This implies that the remaining amount of Na₂ after 10 minutes is 45% of the initial amount.
Let's denote [Na₂]₀ as the initial concentration of Na₂ and [Na₂]_t as the concentration of Na₂ at time t. We can express the remaining concentration as:
[Na₂]_t = 0.45 [Na₂]₀
Now, we can substitute the given values into the first-order rate equation:
Rate = k [Na₂]₀
At t = 10 minutes, the concentration is 45% of the initial concentration:
Rate = k [Na₂]_t = k (0.45 [Na₂]₀)
To find the rate constant k, we need to determine the reaction rate. The reaction rate can be calculated using the formula:
Rate = (Δ[Na₂]) / (Δt)
Since the reaction is isothermal, the change in concentration can be calculated using:
Δ[Na₂] = [Na₂]₀ - [Na₂]_t
Δt = 10 minutes
Plugging in the values, we have:
Rate = (0.55 [Na₂]₀) / (10 minutes)
We know that the reaction rate is also equal to k times the concentration [Na₂]₀:
Rate = k [Na₂]₀
Equating the two expressions for the reaction rate, we can solve for the rate constant k:
k [Na₂]₀ = (0.55 [Na₂]₀) / (10 minutes)
Simplifying, we find:
k = (0.55 [Na₂]₀) / (10 minutes * [Na₂]₀)
k = 0.055 minutes⁻¹

To separate the diluted suspension of minerals from water using a centrifuge, several operating parameters need to be considered. The key parameters include centrifuge speed, residence time, and the design of the centrifuge.
Centrifuge Speed:
The centrifuge speed, typically measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), determines the gravitational force acting on the suspended particles. The higher the centrifuge speed, the greater the force exerted on the particles, leading to better separation. The specific centrifuge speed required for efficient separation can be determined through pilot tests or by referencing established guidelines for similar suspensions.
Residence Time:
The residence time refers to the duration that the suspension remains in the centrifuge, which affects the separation efficiency. Longer residence times allow for more thorough separation, but they may also increase processing time and reduce plant throughput. The residence time can be optimized based on the desired separation efficiency, available centrifuge capacity, and other process requirements.
Centrifuge Design:
The design of the centrifuge is crucial for efficient separation. Different centrifuge designs, such as disk-stack, decanter, or basket centrifuges, offer varying levels of performance and are suitable for different applications. The selection of the centrifuge design depends on factors such as particle size distribution, desired separation efficiency, and the specific characteristics of the suspension.
In the case of a diluted suspension of minerals in water, a centrifuge can be used for separation. The separation efficiency and required operating parameters can be determined through pilot tests specifically conducted for the suspension of minerals. The key parameters to consider are the centrifuge speed, residence time, and the design of the centrifuge. By optimizing these parameters, the desired separation efficiency can be achieved, leading to the separation of minerals from the water in an efficient and effective manner.

Inner Radius (r1) = Inside Diameter / 2 = 3.07 in. / 2 = 1.535 in. = 0.1279 ft
Outer Radius (r2) = Outside Diameter / 2 = 3.50 in. / 2 = 1.75 in. = 0.1458 ft
Now, we can substitute the given values into the formula to calculate the rate of heat loss (Q):
Q = 2π × k × L × (T1 - T2) / ln(r2 / r1)
Q = 2π × 34 × 100 × (250 - 100) / ln(0.1458 / 0.1279)
Calculating the expression inside the parentheses:
Q = 2π × 34 × 100 × 150 / ln(1.137)
Using the value of ln(1.137) ≈ 0.1305:
Q ≈ 2π × 34 × 100 × 150 / 0.1305
Q ≈ 628224 Btu/h
Therefore, the rate of heat loss per hour from 100 ft of this pipe is approximately 628,224 Btu/h.
To calculate the heat flux on the inner face of the pipe, we can use the formula:
q_inner = Q / (π × r1²)
where:
q_inner is the heat flux on the inner face of the pipe.
Substituting the values:
q_inner = 628224 / (π × 0.1279²)
q_inner ≈ 122,897 Btu/h ft²
Therefore, the heat flux on the inner face of the pipe is approximately 122,897 Btu/h ft².
To calculate the heat flux on the external face of the pipe, we can use the formula:
q_external = Q / (π × r2²)
where:
q_external is the heat flux on the external face of the pipe.
Substituting the values:
q_external = 628224 / (π × 0.1458²)
q_external ≈ 92,926 Btu/h ft²
Therefore, the heat flux on the external face of the pipe is approximately 92,926 Btu/h ft².

5. You have a gold necklace that you want coated in silver. You place it in a solution of AgNO3(aq).
(a) Why won't the silver spontaneously deposit on the gold?
The spontaneous deposition of silver onto gold in a solution of AgNO3(aq) does not occur due to the difference in their reduction potentials.
Spontaneous deposition of a metal occurs when it has a lower reduction potential than the metal it is being deposited onto. In this case, gold has a lower reduction potential than silver.
The reduction potential is a measure of the tendency of a species to gain electrons and undergo reduction. Gold has a relatively low reduction potential, indicating that it has a lower tendency to gain electrons and be reduced compared to silver. On the other hand, silver has a higher reduction potential, indicating a greater tendency to be reduced and gain electrons.
In the solution of AgNO3(aq), silver ions (Ag+) are present, which can potentially be reduced to form silver atoms (Ag). However, since gold has a lower reduction potential than silver, it does not have a strong enough tendency to reduce the silver ions and replace them with gold atoms. Therefore, the silver does not spontaneously deposit onto the gold necklace.
To achieve the desired silver coating on the gold necklace, an external source of electrons or a reducing agent would be required to facilitate the reduction of silver ions onto the gold surface.

5. These problems relate to finding the drag force, and terminal velocity. (15pts) (1) A solar car has a frontal area of 1.16 m2 and a drag coefficient of CD = 0.106. If the electric motor is deliveri
The drag force experienced by the solar car can be calculated using the formula:Drag Force (F) = (1/2) * CD * ρ * A * V^2,Frontal area (A) = 1.16 m^2,Drag coefficient (CD) = 0.106Density of air (ρ) = Assumed constant at 1.2 kg/m^3 (typical value at sea level)
Let's assume that we want to find the drag force when the solar car is moving at its terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the net force on the car is zero, so the drag force will be equal to the gravitational force acting on the car.
Gravitational force (Fg) = m * g
We can equate the drag force and gravitational force to find the terminal velocity:
F = Fg
(1/2) * CD * ρ * A * Vt^2 = m * g
From this equation, we can solve for the terminal velocity (Vt):
Vt = sqrt((2 * m * g) / (CD * ρ * A))
To calculate the terminal velocity of the solar car, you would need to know the mass of the car (m) and the acceleration due to gravity (g). Once you have these values, you can substitute them into the formula above along with the given values of frontal area (A), drag coefficient (CD), and air density (ρ = 1.2 kg/m^3) to determine the terminal velocity of the solar car.

The heat capacity of H2O(g) at constant pressure over a temperature range is from 100°C to 300 °C is given by
Cp=30.54+1.03x10-2T (J/mol.K)
Calculate ΔS, ΔH, ΔU when 200 g of gaseous water is heated from 120 to 250 °C in an atmosphere of Pressure. Assume ideal gas behavior.
ΔS, ΔH, ΔU when 200 g of gaseous water is heated from 120 to 250 °C in an atmosphere of Pressure is given as,
ΔS = 63.44 J/K
ΔH = 29,908 J
ΔU = 29,108 J
To calculate ΔS (change in entropy), ΔH (change in enthalpy), and ΔU (change in internal energy), we can use the following formulas:
ΔS = ∫(Cp/T)dT
ΔH = ∫CpdT
ΔU = ΔH - PΔV
Given data:
Cp = 30.54 + 1.03 × 10^-2T (J/mol·K)
Mass of gaseous water (m) = 200 g
Temperature range (T1 to T2) = 120°C to 250°C
Pressure (P) = Assume ideal gas behavior
First, let's convert the mass of gaseous water to moles:
Number of moles (n) = mass / molar mass
Molar mass of H2O = 18.01528 g/mol
n = 200 g / 18.01528 g/mol ≈ 11.102 mol
Now, we can calculate ΔS by integrating Cp/T with respect to temperature from T1 to T2:
ΔS = ∫(Cp/T)dT
= ∫[(30.54 + 1.03 × 10^-2T) / T] dT
= 30.54 ln(T) + 1.03 × 10^-2T ln(T) + C
Evaluating the integral at T2 and subtracting the integral at T1, we get:
ΔS = (30.54 ln(T2) + 1.03 × 10^-2T2 ln(T2)) - (30.54 ln(T1) + 1.03 × 10^-2T1 ln(T1))
Substituting the given temperature values, we can calculate ΔS:
ΔS = (30.54 ln(250) + 1.03 × 10^-2 × 250 ln(250)) - (30.54 ln(120) + 1.03 × 10^-2 × 120 ln(120))
≈ 63.44 J/K
Next, let's calculate ΔH by integrating Cp with respect to temperature from T1 to T2:
ΔH = ∫CpdT
= ∫(30.54 + 1.03 × 10^-2T) dT
= 30.54T + (1.03 × 10^-2/2)T^2 + C
Evaluating the integral at T2 and subtracting the integral at T1, we get:
ΔH = (30.54 × 250 + 1.03 × 10^-2/2 × 250^2) - (30.54 × 120 + 1.03 × 10^-2/2 × 120^2)
≈ 29,908 J
Finally, we can calculate ΔU using the formula ΔU = ΔH - PΔV. Since the process is at constant pressure, ΔU is equal to ΔH:
ΔU = ΔH
≈ 29,908 J
When 200 g of gaseous water is heated from 120 to 250 °C in an atmosphere of pressure, the change in entropy (ΔS) is approximately 63.44 J/K, the change in enthalpy (ΔH) is approximately 29,908 J, and the change in
