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)

For the equilibrium system: H2O(g) + CO(g) <--> H2(g) + CO2(g). Delta heat of rxn: -42 kJ/mol and Kc=0.62 at 1260 K.0.10 mol each of water, CO, and CO2 (all at 1260 K) are placed in a sealed 1.0-Liter thermally-insulated vessel, which is also at 1260 K. When the system comes to equilibrium, which is true?-The temp & mass of CO would increase.-The temp & mass of CO would decrease.-The temp would remain constant & the mass of CO would increase.-The temp would increase and the mass of CO would decrease.-The temp would decrease and the mass of CO would increase.
(II) A 1.0-L volume of air initially at 3.5 atm of (gauge)pressure is allowed to expand isothermally until the pressureis 1.0 atm. It is then compressed at constant pressure to itsinitial volume, and lastly is brought back to its originalpressure by heating at constant volume. Draw the processon a PV diagram, including numbers and labels for the axes
Given the following composition of the fuel gas (Table 1) supplied at 1 atm, 80°F and 100% RH while air at 1 atm is supplied at 80°F and 50% RH. The temperature of the furnace is 700°F. Complete combustion occurred with no excess air supplied. Assume the fuel gas is supplied in lbmoles.
A hydrocarbon stream composed of 40 mol% n-butane and 60 mol% n-octane is fed at 100 kmol/h to a flash vessel operating at 5 bar and 145°C. The liquid outlet stream of the flash vessel is then sent to a distillation column with a partial condenser to further separate the components. 90% of the butane in the feed to the column is recovered in the overhead vapor product (distillate), along with small amounts of octane. The bottoms product contains octane which accounts for 75% of the octane in the fresh hydrocarbon feed (to the flash vessel). The condenser and reboiler operating temperatures are 136.7°C and 165.7°C, respectively. Determine the compositions of the liquid outlet stream of the condenser and the vapor outlet stream of the reboiler.
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.)
L-lysine is produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum in a bioreactor using glucose as the carbon source and ammonia as the nitrogen source. All streams of this process are aqueous. In the inflow, 8 grams of glucose per 100 grams of flow fluid flowing at a rate of 500 kg / hour is included. The glucose flow rate in the exit steam is 1 kg / hour. The reaction takes place at 25 °c.What is the mole percentage of glucose that was consumed during cell growth inside the bioreactor? -Does the growth of Corynebacterium glutamicum cells inside this bioreactor release or absorbheat? Should heat be supplied to the bioreactor, or removed from, to maintain the operation temperature? I want the solution of both options.

Liquid nitrogen is stored in 0.5-m3 metal tanks that are thoroughly insulated. Consider the process of filling an evacuated tank, initially at 295 K. It is attached to a line containing liquid nitrogen at its normal boiling point of 77.3 K and at a pressure of several bars. At this condition, its enthalpy is -120.8 kJ kg-1. When a valve in the line is opened, the nitrogen flowing into the tank at first evaporates in the process of cooling the tank. If the tank has a mass of 30 kg and the metal has a specific heat capacity of0.43 kJ kg-1 K-1, what mass of nitrogen must flow into the tank just to cool it to a temperature such that liquid nitrogen begins to accumulate in the tank? Assume that the nitrogen and the tank are always at the same temperature. The properties of saturated nitrogen vapor at several temperatures are given as follows:
