Ethyl alcohol has a vapor pressure of 20.0 mm Hg at 8.0°C and a normal boiling point of 78.4°C. Estimate the vapor pressure at 45°C using (a) the Antoine equation: (b) the Clausius—Clapeyron equation and the two given data points; and (c) linear interpolation between the two given points.
Taking the first estimate to be correct, calculate the percentage error associated with the second and third estimates.

- Genetically modern humans appeared on Earth about 200,000 years ago, and biologically and behaviorally modern humans appeared about 70,000 years ago. The number of people and their effects on the planet were negligible, or as Douglas Adams says, "as near nothing as makes no odds," for most of the history of the planet. What year did the planet's population reach 1 billion people? 1200 1500 1650 1800 1950 Assume that the population has grown exponentially since that time. The approximate global population in 2012 was 7 billion people. What was the time interval (in years) required for the population to increase from 1 billion people to 2 billion people? 127 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%.

These percentages are by weight. A reflux ratio of 3.5 mol to 1 mol of product is to be used. The molal latent heats of benzene and toluene are 7,360 and 7,960 cal/mol, respectively. Benzene and toluene form an ideal system with a relative volatility of about 2.5; the equilibrium curve is shown in Figure below. The feed has a boiling point of 95 °C at a pressure of 1 atm. (a) Calculate the moles of overhead product and bottom product per hour. (b) Determine the number of ideal plate and the position of the feed plate: (i) if the feed is liquid and at its boiling point. (ii)if the feed is liquid and at 20 °C (specific heat 0.44 cal/ g.°C) (iii) if the feed is a mixture of two-thirds vapor and one-third liquid. (c) If steam at 20 Ib/in? (1.36 atm)…arrow_forward

Hall and ion-slip effects are included with \( m_e = 0.4 \), \( \beta = 0.15 \). Thermal conductivity varies as \( k(T) = 0.6 (1 + 0.002 (T - 305)) \). Apply velocity and thermal jump conditions with \( \alpha_u = 0.9 \), \( \alpha_T = 0.8 \), \( \lambda = 2 \times 10^{-7} \). Using Keller’s method and similarity variables for wedge parameter \( m = 0.4 \), determine the entropy generation number \( N_s \) at \( x = 0.03 \), where \[N_s = \frac{k(T)}{T_\infty^2} \left( \frac{\partial T}{\partial y} \right)^2 + \frac{\mu}{T_\infty} \left( \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} \right)^2.\]arrow_forwardE. coli was continuously cultured in a continuous stirred tank fermenter with a working volume of 1 L by chemostat. A medium containing 4.0 g/L of glucose as a carbon source was fed to the fermenter at a constant flow rate of 0.5 L/hr, and the glucose concentration in the output stream was 0.20 g/L. The cell yield with respect to glucose was 0.42 g dry cells per gram glucose.arrow_forward
