EBK ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF CHEMICAL P
- Ethylene (CH₂CH₂) is the starting point for a wide array of industrial chemical syntheses. For example, worldwide about 8.0 × 10¹0 kg of polyethylene are made from ethylene each year, for use in everything from household plumbing to artificial joints. Natural sources of ethylene are entirely inadequate to meet world demand, so ethane (CH₂CH3) from natural gas is "cracked" in refineries at high temperature in a kinetically complex reaction that produces ethylene gas and hydrogen gas. Suppose an engineer studying ethane cracking fills a 35.0 L reaction tank with 35.0 atm of ethane gas and raises the temperature to 400. °C. He believes K₂=0.20 at this temperature. Calculate the percent by mass of ethylene the engineer expects to find in the equilibrium gas mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken about the correct value of Kp and the mass percent of ethylene you calculate may not be what he actually observes.arrow_forwardA seashore sand mixture contains 85% insoluble sand, 12% salt, and 3% water by weight. 100 kilograms of this mixture is to be washed by batch operations so that it will contain less than 0.2% salt after drying. In each washing, the sand mixture is mixed with 200 kilograms of water and the resulting saline solution is discarded. The sand mixture retains 0.5 kilograms of water per kilogram of insoluble sand after each washing. Note that the mixture is not dried between washings. (a) How many washings with 200-kg batches of water are required to give the desired purity of the sand? Derive a general expression for the weight fraction of salt in the dried mixture after N washings. Note that the solubility of salt in water is 35.7 kg salt per 100 kg of water.

The chemist dried the clams at 95 °C overnight and ground them in a scientific blender, resulting in approximately 50 g of homogenized dry weight. A representative 91.79 mg sample was taken from the approximately 50 g of dry material and dissolved in 100.0 ml. of 0.1 M HCI to create a sample solution. Using the method of standard additions, the chemist prepared five standard solutions in 100.0 ml volumetric flasks, cach containing 5.00 ml. aliquots of the sample solution. Varying amounts of a 85.0 ppb (ug/L) Cd+ standard were added to each of the flasks, which were then brought to volume with 0.1 M HCI.

- An environmental study was performed to measure the transport of a DDT (a banned pesticide) throughout the globe. A lake in northern Canada was sampled to see if low levels of DDT were present there in spite of it not being administered within 1000 miles of that location. 1.000 L of the lake water was spiked with 100.0 uL of a 2.451 ug/L solution of tetrachlorobenzene, which acted as the internal standard. The entire 1.000 L spiked solution was concentrated onto an SPE column. After washing the SPE column with ~5 mL of pure water, the analyte and internal standard were eluted from the SPE column using ~5 mL of CH2Cl2 solvent. The eluted sample was evaporated under a stream of nitrogen to a final volume of 1.000 mL. 1 uL of this final solution was analyzed using GC-MS, and gave a signal of 24835 for DDT and 11597 for tetrachlorobenzene. To calculate the response factor, a standard solution was prepared consisting of 1.482 ug/L of DDT and 2.451 ug/L of tetrachlorobenzene.…arrow_forwardA waste acid containing 15% nitric acid, 50% sulfuric acid and 35% water is mixed with a stream of concentrated sulfuric acid containing 7% water and another stream of concentrated nitric acid containing 5% water.
