- A water carbonating plant is available for use in the home and operates by providing carbon dioxide at 5.0 atm. Estimate the molal concentration, m (in mol/kg), of the soda water it produces. The Henry's law constant for CO2 in water at 25 °C is 1650 atm. Use the following representation of Henry' law: PB = xBKB where PB is the vapor pressure of the solute; xB is the mole fraction of the solute (mole per mole); and KB is the proportionality constant.arrow_forwardA mixture consisting of 1-mol-% ethane, 5-mol-% propane, 44-mol-% n-butane, and 50-mol-% isobutane is brought to a condition of 294.15 K (21°C) at pressure P. If the molar fraction of the system that is vapor is 0.2, what is pressure P (in bar), and what are the compositions of the vapor and liquid phases?arrow_forward3. The second Virial coefficient of an equimolar binary vapor mixture of methane and n-hexane is -517 cm'/mol at 50°C. What is B at the same temperature for a mixture containing 25 mol% methane and 75 mol% n-hexane. At 50°C B =-33 cm'/mol for methane, B =-1512cm'/mol for n-hexane.arrow_forward
- 1. Sodium carbonate is recovered as decahydrate from 1000kg of 5% solution of sodium carbonate in water. If it is desired that 95% of Na2CO3 is to be recovered as decahydrate by cooling to 278 K, determine the following: a) the mass of water evaporated (b) the mass of crystals obtained (Na2CO3 ∙ 10H2O). The solubility of Na2CO3 in water at 278K is 9.0% (weight) 2. A copra batch contains 44% oil and is to be extracted with n-hexane. The extracted meal contains 0.07 kg of oil/kg oil free matter and the mass fraction of n-hexane in it is 0.05. The extract contains 49% n- hexane. If 10,000 kg of copra are to be processed, how many kg of n-hexane are required and the determine the amount of extract. 3. Absorption of sulphur dioxide is carried out in a packed tower. Gas containing 14.8% sulphur dioxide and the rest inert gases enters the tower while the leaving gases contains 1% sulphur dioxide. Water flows at the rate of 1m3/min. The tower handles 7380 m3/hr of gas at 303K and 1 bar.

This means the pressure of water vapour should be 55% of the vapour pressure of pure water at the same temperature. The proper humidity can be maintained by placing an aqueous solution of glycerol, C3H5(OH)3 , inside the humidor. Calculate the concentration of glycerol (in mass %) required to lower the vapour pressure of water to the desired value. Assume ideal behaviour, with glycerol as a nonvolatile component. MW glycerol = 92.09 g/mol.arrow_forward
