(a)
Interpretation:
The mole fractions of the components of the product streams are to be determined using atomic species balance in the calculations.
Concept introduction:
In a system, a conserved quantity (total mass, mass of a particular species, energy or momentum) is balanced and can be written as:
Here, ‘input’ is the stream which enters the system. ‘generation’ is the term used for the quantity that is produced within the system. ‘output’ is the stream which leaves the system. ‘consumption’ is the term used for the quantity that is consumed within the system. ‘accumulation’ is used for the quantity which is builds up within the system.
All the equations which are formed are then solved simultaneously to calculate the values of the unknown variables.

Now, we need something to fill with gas. I'll be filling a 1-quart sealable plastic bag. 1 quart is 946 mL (0.946 L). We can use the ideal gas law to determine how much gas (in moles) is needed to fill 946 mL. Remember there are four variables for the ideal gas law.

The gas product is dissolved in water to form hydrofluoric acid. Fluorite ore, a source of calcium fluoride, contains 95%wt CaF2 and 5%wt SiO2. In a certain process, the ore is reacted with 93%wt aqueous sulfuric acid, supplied 15% in excess. From this, 95% of the ore dissolves in the acid. Some of the HF formed reacts with the dissolved silica in the reaction: HF reacts with SiO2 to produce H2SiF6 and liquid water. If 60%wt of hydrofluoric acid was formed when hydrogen fluoride (which exits the reactor) is dissolved in water, determine the amount of ore needed to produce one metric ton of acid.

In particular, we will practice quantitative transfer and vacuum filtration. You will perform a precipitation reaction that involves preparing and combining solutions of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, and calcium chloride, CaCl2. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction predicts the amount of precipitate that will be formed. Careful isolation, drying and weighing of the precipitate will confirm the calculations and the percent yield. Pre-Lab Questions 1. Define the term gravimetric analysis. Describe the procedure used in this activity, and identify two other common examples of gravimetric analysis.arrow_forward
