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?
A tank contains 400 liters of brine holding 100kg of salt in solution. Water containing 125g of salt per liter flows into the tank at the rate of 12 liters per minute, and the mixture, kept uniform by stirring, flows out at the same rate. Find the amount of salt at the end of 90 minutes.
The principal reaction in a series of complex reactions performed by microorganisms involved in wine making is the conversion of sugars into alcohol in a process known as fermentation. The starting concentration of sugars determines the final alcohol content and the sweetness of the wine. Adjusting the specific gravity of the stock solution achieves the desired quality of the wine. Assuming the sugars in the stock solution with a specific gravity of 1.075 are all C12H22011 equivalent to 12.75% wt., calculate the following:a) How much is the amount of sugar per kg of water?b) How many lbs of solution is present in a cubic feet of solution?c) What is the weight of sugar in grams for every liter of solution?

- L-Serine is an amino acid important for its roles in synthesizing other amino acids and for its use in intravenous feeding solutions. It is often synthesized commercially by fermentation, and recovered by subjecting the fermentation broth to several processing steps and then crystallizing the serine from an aqueous solution. The solubilities of L-serine (L-Ser) in water have been measured at several temperatures, producing the following data:5T(K) 283.4 285.9 289.3 299.1 316.0 317.8 322.9 327.1x(mole fraction L-Ser) 0.0400 0.0426 0.0523 0.0702 0.1091 0.1144 0.1181 0.1248One of the ways such data can be represented is with the van’t Hoff equation: ln x =( a=T b).Graph the data so that the resulting plot is linear.
