Chapter 6, Problem 6.63P

The feed to a distillation column (sketched below) is a 45.0 mole% n-pentane−55.0 mole% n hexane liquid mixture. The vapor stream leaving the top of the column, which contains 98.0 mole% pentane and the balance hexane, goes to a total condenser (which means all the vapor is condensed). Half of the liquid condensate is returned to the top of the column as re?ux and the rest is withdrawn as overhead product (distillate) at a rate of 85.0 kmol/h. The distillate contains 95.0% of the pentane fed to the column. The liquid stream leaving the bottom of the column goes to a reboiler. Part of the stream is vaporized; the vapor is returned to the bottom of the column as boilup, and the residual liquid is withdrawn as bottom: product.

(a) Calculate the molar ?ow rate of the feed stream and the molar ?ow rate and composition of the bottoms product stream.

(b) Estimate the temperature of the vapor entering the condenser, assuming that it is saturated (at its dew point) at an absolute pressure of 1 atm and that Raoult's law applies to both pentane and hexane. Then estimate the volumetric ?ow rates of the vapor stream leaving the column and of the liquid distillate product. State any assumptions you make.

(c) Estimate the temperature of the reboiler and the composition of the vapor boilup, again assuming operation at 1 atm.

(d) Calculate the minimum diameter of the pipe connecting the column and the condenser if the maximum allowable vapor velocity in the pipe is 10 m/s. Then list all the assumptions underlying the calculation of that number.

A mixture of phenol and water, under certain conditions of temperature and composition, forms two separate liquid phases, one rich in phenol and the other rich in water. At 30⁰ the compositions of the upper and lower layers are 70% and 9% by mass phenol, respectively. If 40kg of phenol and 60kg of water are mixed and the layers are allowed to separate at 30⁰C, what will be the weight of the two layers?
Human saliva contains the enzyme α-amylase which hydrolyzes polysaccharide acetal linkages.  A soda cracker (containing starch) was carefully ground; the crumbs were distributed evenly between two test tubes.  The first test tube contained only water, while the second contained a 1% solution of α-amylase.  Both mixtures were heated to 35°C for 10 minutes and filtered. The filtrates were tested with iodine solution and Benedict’s solution.  Use the following results to answer the questions below.   Mixture Iodine test Benedict’s Test cracker in water dark blue blue cracker in water and α-amylase red red-orange precipitate a.       Was the starch from the cracker/water mixture hydrolyzed? Was the starch from the cracker in the 1% α-amylase solution hydrolyzed? b.       Which cracker contained reducing sugars?
4.0g of potassium hydrogen tartrate was added to 300mL distilled water. The temperature of the solution is 23.1C. The liquid was filtered and 50mL of the filtered solution was transferred to 250mL beaker, two drops of phenolpthalein was added to the 250mL beaker. The concentration of NaOH is 1.0 M that is filled in the 2mL graduate pipette, single drops of NaOH was added to the 250mL beaker until the solution turns pink and the potassium hydrogen tartrate reach the endpoint. The datd of four trials was collected. Please answer the following questions 4) calculate ksp for potassium hydrogen tartrate for each trial and average ksp for thr experiment 5) calculate the percent error in you value of ksp using reference that is found as the theoretical value. 6) why was the temperature of the saturated solution recorded?
