Question
Two aqueous sulfuric acid solutions are available at a processing facility:
a. 20.0 wt% H2SO4 (sg = 1.139)
b. 60.0 wt% H2SO4 (sg = 1.498)
It is desired to mix the two solutions such that the final product has a concentration of 4.00 M (sg = 1.213).
There is 100 kg of the 20% solution available. If all of this is to be used, calculate:
a. The mass of 60% solution needed
b. The mass and composition of the final product

- #3 The first step in the reaction sequence for the production of nitric acid via the oxidation of ammonia is: 4NH3 + 502 2 4NO + 6H2O 75% conversion is achieved with an equimolar mixture of ammonia and oxygen fed at the rate of 100 mol/h. Determine the outlet compositions. (Hint: determine the limiting reactant).arrow_forwardA batch process is operated with the following sequence. The feed to the batch process consists of a solution of 500 L of ethanol with 120 mole of A and 120 mole of B. If the temperature of the solution is sufficient, A and B will react to form P (the desired product): A (eth) + B (eth) → P (s) DHreact = − 250 kJ/mol (1) product P is sparingly soluble in ethanol, which helps facilitate its removal from the reaction solution. It can be assumed that the reaction rate is first-order in both the concentration of A (cA ) and B (cB ), and so second-order overall: -r A = k c A cB (2) The batch process consists of the following FOUR steps: Initially, the tank is empty. 1. Fill tank with solution (ethanol/A/B). 50°C (1 hour) Increase temperature of the feed from 20°C to 2. Reaction takes place isothermally at 50°C (4 hours, to give conversion of 50%) 3. Filtration of reaction solution to give product P (2 hours) 4.

Its composition as a mole fraction is: n-butane: 0.40, n-pentane: 0.25, n-hexane: 0.20, n-heptane: 0.15. Using the equilibrium distribution coefficients (K), find the temperature at which this liquid will begin to boil (bubble temperature). Calculate the concentration of the first vapor bubble formed.arrow_forward
