L-Serine is an amino acid important for its roles in synthesizing other amino acids and for its use in intravenous feeding solutions. It is often synthesized commercially by fermentation, and recovered by subjecting the fermentation broth to several processing steps and then crystallizing the serine from an aqueous solution. The solubilities of L-serine (L-Ser) in water have been measured at several temperatures, producing the following data:5T(K) 283.4 285.9 289.3 299.1 316.0 317.8 322.9 327.1x(mole fraction L-Ser) 0.0400 0.0426 0.0523 0.0702 0.1091 0.1144 0.1181 0.1248One of the ways such data can be represented is with the van’t Hoff equation: ln x =( a=T b).Graph the data so that the resulting plot is linear. Estimate a and b and give their units.
The production of cement results in significant GHG emissions. The emissions are caused by the decomposition of calcium carbonate (limestone) to calcium oxide (lime) and carbon dioxide. This process known as calcination, is carried out in kilns. Therefore, additional GHGs are emitted as a result of heating the kilns. A large cement manufacturer uses a mix of coal, natural gas, and biomass in its boiler. This mix produces the following amounts of GHGs per Million BTUs of energy: • 250 lbs CO2/MMBtu • 5 lbs CH4/MMBtu • 0.36 lbs N2O/MMBtu Process carbon emissions from the calcination process produce 925 lbs of carbon dioxide per metric ton of cement. In addition, the plant uses 1.7 Million BTUs of energy per metric ton of cement. If the plant produces 180,000 metric tons of cement annually, how many metric tons of CO2e does it emit?
A mixture of methane and air is capable of being ignited only if the mole percent of methane is between 5% and 15%. A mixture containing 9.0 mole% methane in air flowing at a rate of 7:00 x 102 kg/h is to be diluted with pure air to reduce the methane concentration to the lower flammability limit. Calculate the required flow rate of air in mol/h and the percent by mass of oxygen in the product gas. (Note: Air may be taken to consist of 21 mole% O2 and 79% N2 and to have an average molecular weight of 29.0.)
Meztiza, a beer cocktail, is prepared by mixing rum, beer, and cola. Compute the finalconcentration(%w/v) of ethanol in meztiza if 100.0 mL of beer was first mixed with 5.0 mL rum andbefore finally diluting it with cola to produce 200.0 mL of the beer cocktail. ( a beer contains about 4.50% (v/v) of ethanolfermented by yeast from sugars while rum contains about 40.0% (v/v) ethanol. Meanwhile, arubbing alcohol is also an alcohol solution which contains 70.0 %(v/v) isopropyl alcohol fermentedby a bacterium instead of a yeast)
A mixture containing 42 wt% benzene (B) and 58 wt% toluene (T) is fed to a distillation column at a flow rate of 100 kg per minute. The product steam leaving the top of the column (the overhead product) contains 90 wt% benzene and 85 wt% of the total benzene fed to the column exits in this overhead product stream. Calculate the mass flow rate and mass composition of the product stream leaving the bottom of the column. Calculate the volumetric flow rate of the overhead product, assuming that it exits the distillation column as a vapour stream at 82C and 1 atm (abs). Physical Property Data (S.G.= specific gravity) from table B-1: Benzene S.G. = 0.879 MW = 78.11 g/mol Toluene S.G. = 0.866 MW = 92.13 g/mol Water Density = 1.00 kg/L MW = 18.02 g/mol R = 0.08206 L atm/mol K
Methanol (CH3OH) is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the reaction and process given below: CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and 0.400 mol% inerts (I). The reactor effluent passes through a condenser that removes essentially all of the methanol and water formed and none of the reactants or inerts. The unreacted reactants and inerts are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycle. 100 mol/h of feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed to the process) contains 29.5 mol% CO2, 68.0 mol% H2, and 2.50 mol% inerts. The single-pass conversion of hydrogen is 46.71%. What is the recycle-to-fresh feed ratio?
Chlorodifluoromethane (CHF2Cl) was widely used in the compression/cooling circuits of refrigeration or air-conditioning systems. Since the discovery that such compounds (HCFCs and CFC's) released into the atmosphere were a major cause of depletion of stratospheric ozone, newer refrigeration systems make use of certain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are degraded in the lower atmosphere, instead. Often, mixtures of such compounds are used. Suppose a sample of refrigerant gas consisting of a simple mixture of the gases pentafluoroethane (C2HF5) and difluorormethane (CH2F2) has a density of 3.06 g/L at 14 °C and 0.974 atm. Calculate the average molecular mass for this sample
