Question
Ethanol is produced by the hydration of ethylene:
CH2=CH2 + H2O à C2H5OH
Some of the product is converted to ethyl ether by the following side reaction:
2C2H5OH à (C2H5)2O + H2O
The feed to the reactor contains 25% C2H4, 65% H2O, and the balance inert materials on a mole basis. The conversion of ethylene is 10% and the yield is 90%. Calculate the composition of the reactor output stream.

- A mixture of barium chloride and sulfuric acid yield the precipitate barium sulfate and hydrochloric acid according to the double replacement reaction: H,SO, (aq) + BaCl, (aq) → BaSO, (s) + 2 HCI (aq) 4 4 A large quantity of barium chloride is used to ensure that the sulfuric acid is the limiting reactant. If 41.7 grams of barium sulfate are produced, what mass of H,SO, must be dissolved in the initial aqueous solution?

In the Bayer process this is accomplished by treating bauxite with aqueous NaOH to produce NaAIO2 (alumina). NaOH(aq) + Al(OH)3(s) → NaAIO2(aq) + 2H2O(1) Since NaAIO2 is water soluble while the residual mineral constituents of bauxite are not, a separation can be achieved by allowing the minerals to settle out and decanting the aqueous solution of NAAIO2 and unreacted NaOH. In order to further recover any NAAIO2 entrained in the settled mineral solids, this "mud" is repeatedly washed with water and allowed to settle, and the wash water is decanted. The figure below shows one stage of this washing-settling process.

- Potassium fluotitanate (K₂TiF₆), a starting material forproducing other titanium salts, is made by dissolvingtitanium(IV) oxide in concentrated HF, adding aqueous KF, andthen heating to dryness to drive off excess HF. The impure solidis recrystallized by dissolving in hot water and then cooling to 0°C, which leaves excess KF in solution. For the reaction of 5.00 g of TiO₂, 250. mL of hot water is used to recrystallize theproduct.
