Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:Fractional distillation should be defined.
Concept introduction:Distillation is technique that is used to separate components of liquid mixture with help of selective boiling and condensation. This procedure either separates components partially or completely from mixture. It is one of physical processes to separate mixtures and not by
b)
Interpretation: Head temperature should be defined.
Concept introduction:Conversion of substance from its liquid to vapor state is called boiling. Boiling point is temperature that has vapor pressure of liquid equal to pressure that is present around liquid.
c)
Interpretation:Pot temperature should be defined.
Concept introduction:Conversion of substance from its liquid to vapor state is called boiling. Boiling point is temperature that has vapor pressure of liquid equal to pressure that is present around liquid.
d)
Interpretation:Raoult’s law should be defined.
Concept introduction:Vapor pressure is known as pressure of vapor that exists in equilibrium with its liquid or solid state. In other words, it is equilibrium pressure of vapor over its liquid or solid state. It depends on temperature of system.
e)
Interpretation:Ideal solution should be defined.
Concept introduction:Solution has two components. Out of these two components, one that is present in larger amount is called solvent while that present in smaller amount is known as solute.
f)
Interpretation:Mole fraction should be defined.
Concept introduction:Concentration can be defined as ratio of amount of solute to that of solvent. Different concentration terms are used for determination of concentration in solution. Some of these are molarity, molality, mole fraction, mass percent and volume percent.
g)
Interpretation:Height equivalent to theoretical plate should be defined.
Concept introduction:Fractional distillation is separation technique that separates various fractions of components in mixture. This process is based on vaporization of one or more fractions or parts of mixture. It is used to separate components of mixture that have difference in boiling points less than
h)
Interpretation:Temperature gradient should be defined.
Concept introduction:Fractional distillation is separation technique that separates various fractions of components in mixture. This process is based on vaporization of one or more fractions or parts of mixture. It is used to separate components of mixture that have difference in boiling points less than
i)
Interpretation:Dalton’s law should be defined.
Concept introduction:Vapor pressure is known as pressure of vapor that exists in equilibrium with its solid or liquid state. In other words, it is equilibrium pressure of vapor over its solid or liquid state. It depends on temperature of system.
j)
Interpretation:Reflux ratio should be defined.
Concept introduction:Fractional distillation is separation technique that separates various fractions of components in mixture.

Select all that are True. A)The lower the HETP (height equivalent to a theoretical plate) of the fractionating(packed) column the more efficient it is at separation of components. B)The distillation process involves several concurrent vaporization-condensation cycles. C)Continual change in boiling temperature is observed as the distillation progresses. D)Can ideally separate mixtures with comparable volatilities small BP differences. E)For good separation by distillation the volume of liquid condensing back to the pot should be lower than the volume of liquid distilling off.arrow_forward
- State whether you would want to use a fractional or simple distillation for each of the cases below. Assume the mixture contains a 1:3 mixture of two components A and B, where component A is the lower boiling point component. Briefly explain each of your answers. 1. You need a really pure sample of component A. 2. You just need each component to be at least 85% pure and want the MAXIMUM amount of distillate out.arrow_forwardAssume that your compound recrystallizes equally well from benzyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. Which solvent is the better choice for recrystallization? a. Benzyl alcohol because it is miscible with water. b. Isopropyl alcohol is better because it has a much lower boiling point and is easier evaporate off c. A mixed solvent - benzyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol d. It doesn't matter which one if they work equally in the recrystallization process.arrow_forwardConstruct an approximate boiling-point-composition diagram for a benzene– methanol system. The mixture shows azeotropic behavior (see Table 15.3). Include on the graph the boiling points of pure benzene and pure methanol and the boiling point of the azeotrope. Describe the behavior on distillation of a mixture that is initially rich in benzene (90%) and then for a mixture that is initially rich in methanol (90%).arrow_forward

- Draw a phase diagram showing how the phase boundaries differ for a pure solvent compared with a solution. Give an explanation for the phase diagram.arrow_forward20 ml of a 100 mg/l phenol solution in water is placed in a vial with 20 ml of a fluorocarbon solvent. The organic phase (fluorocarbon solvent) is immiscible with water. The vial is completely filled with the two phases, thus there is no air or contaminant volatilization. After an hour of agitation, the two phase system reaches equilibrium. The two phases are separated and the fluorocarbon is analyzed for total phenol. The resulting phenol concentration in the organic phase is 16.0 mg/l. Compute the unitless partition coefficient (KF-W) for phenol. Compare your calculation with KF-W obtained from an empirical relationship: log10KF-W 0.71 - 0.862log10 CWsat. KF-W means the partition between the fluorocarbon solvent, F, and water, W.
