Chapter 3, Problem 3.26P
Certain solid substances, known as hydrated compounds, have well-defined molecular ratios of water to some other species. For example, calcium sulfate dihydrate (commonly known as gypsum, CaSO42H2O), has 2 moles of water per mole of calcium sulfate; alternatively, it may be said that 1 mole of gypsum consists of 1 mole of calcium sulfate and 2 moles of water. The water in such substances is called water of hydration. (More information about hydrated salts is given in Chapter 6.)
In order to eliminate the discharge of sulfuric acid into the environment, a process has been developed in which the acid is reacted with aragonite (CaCO3) to produce calcium sulfate. The calcium sulfate then comes out of solution in a crystallizer to form a slurry (a suspension of solid particles in a liquid) of solid gypsum particles suspended in an aqueous CaSO4 solution. The slurry flows front tlte crystallizer to a filter in which the particles arc collected as a filter cake. The filter cake, which is 95.0 wt% solid gypsum and the remainder CaSO4 solution, is fed to a dryer in which all water (including the water of hydration in the crystals) is driven off to yield anhydrous (water-free) CaSO4 as product A flowchart and relevant process data arc given below.
Solids content of slurry leaving crystallizer 0.35 kg CaSO4-2H2O/L slurry CaSO4 content of slurry liquid: 0.209g CaSO4/100g H2O Specific gravities: CaSO4-2H2O(s), 2.32; liquid solutions, 1.05
- Briefly explain in your own words the functions of the three units (crystallizer, filter, and dryer).
- Take a basis of one liter of solution leaving the crystallizer and calculate tlte mass (kg) and volume (L) of solid gypsum, the mass of CaSO4 in the gypsum, and the mass of CaSO4 in the liquid solution.
- Calculate the percentage recovery of CaSO4—that is, the percentage of the total CaSO4(precipitated plus dissolved) leaving the crystallizer recovered as solid anhydrous CaSO4.
- List five potential negative consequences of discharging H2SO4 into the river passing the plant.

4 During the production of ammonia, hydrogen is produced from the steam
reforming of methane. In the reformer methane gas is reacted with excess water
and the resulting mixture is found to contain 12 kg of hydrogen and 15 kg water.
Assuming all the methane is reacted calculate the amount of water used.
Hydrogen is manufactured on an industrial scale by this sequence of reactions:
CH4 (g) + H₂O(g) = CO (g) + 3 H₂ (g)
K2
CO(g) + H₂O(g) = CO₂ (g) + H₂ (g)
The net reaction is:
K
CH4 (g) + 2 H₂O(g) = CO₂ (g) + 4H₂ (g)
Write an equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant K in terms of the equilibrium constants K₁ and K₂. If you need to include any physical constants,
be sure you use their standard symbols, which you'll find in the ALEKS Calculator.

Suppose you are hired by the Environmental Protection Agency as an engineer to measure sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in a small industrial power plant. And suppose you analyze a gas sample and get the following composition: 75.66% N2, 10.24% CO2, 8.27% H2O, 5.75% O2, and 0.0825% SO2. You show these figures to the factory clerk the next day, and he insists that this analysis is erroneous and states that the fuel is natural gas, contains methane and ethane and does not contain sulfur. You ask if another fuel is used, and sometimes they say they use fuel as fuel, but at the time of analysis they say that this fuel is not used. However, your measurements show that the enterprise is using fuel at the time of measurement, and the responsible person accepts this later and accepts that they have made mistakes.a) Calculate the molar ratio of carbon / hydrogen in the fuel and use the result to prove that the fuel cannot be natural gas.b) Assuming that C, H and S are the elements present in the…
