Question

Transcribed Image Text:Data for the next problems
A commercial adsorbent can remove impurities from amyl acetate that meets the rigorous
quality control standard set by FDA. This adsorbent is a smooth rigid spherical particle with a
density of 2750 kg/m³ and a particle diameter of 8.0 ± 0.01 mm. The porosity of a packed bead
containing these particles is 0.36.
Amyl acetate is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H1402 and the molecular
weight 130.2 kg/kmol. It has a scent similar to bananas. Amy
acetate has a standard density of 876 kg/m³, a melting point of -
71°C, a normal boiling point of 149°C, and has a solubility of 20
g/L in water. The liquid viscosity coordinates for amyl acetate
CH3
H3C
are X = 11.8 and Y = 12.5.
