t-Butyl alcohol (TBA) is an important octane enhancer that is used to replace lead additives in gasoline. TBA was produced by the liquid-phase hydration (W) of isobutene (I) over an Amberlyst-15 catalyst. The system is normally a multiphase mixture of hydrocarbon, water, and solid catalysts. The use of cosolvents or excess TBA can improve miscibility. The reaction mechanism is believed to be: K, = k,/k- W +S = W S Kw = kw/k-w W.S+1.S= TBA S+S Ke = kror/krev %3D TBA S= TBA + S KTBA = 1/KTBAD =k-TBA/KTBA Derive a rate law assuming: a) the surface reaction is rate-limiting. b) the adsorption of isobutene is limiting.

(a) The heat evolved upon dissolution of atmospheric ozone into water is determined to be +5 kcal/mol at 298 K. Given that ozone has a Henry’s constant of 9.4 × 10−3 mol/L/atm at 298 K, determine its Henry’s constant at 273 K. Note that the definition of Henry’s constant is for the process air to water.

An 11.5 wt% mixture of acetic acid in water is to be extracted with 1-butanol at atmospheric pressureand 25°C in countercurrent operation. We desire outlet concentrations of 0.5 wt% in the water and 9.6wt% in the butanol. Inlet butanol is pure. Find the number of equilibrium stages required and the ratioof water to 1-butanol by using the McCabe-Thiele diagram design method. The acetic acid equilibriumdistribution is given by K = 1.613 (wtfr. in butanol/wtfr. in water). Required steps:a. Convert the streams and equilibrium data to mass ratio unitsb. Plot the equilibrium curvec. Plot the operating curve to determine the water to 1-butanol ratiod. Step off the equilibrium stages

A 0.512 g sample of a commercial phosphate detergent was ignited at a red heat to destroy the organic matter. The residue was taken up in hot HCl, which converted the P to H3PO4. The phosphate was precipitated as MgNH4PO4.6H2O by addition of Mg2+ followed by aqueous NH3.
