Chapter 4, Problem 4.10P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The latent heat of vaporization for one of the compounds namely, Acetone in this case should be calculated using the equation 4.13 and the calculated value should be compared with the values in table B.2.

Concept Introduction:

The latent heat of vaporization can be calculated as follows:

  ΔHnRTn=1.092×(lnPc1.013)0.93Trn

Here, ΔHn is latent heat of vaporization, R is Universal gas constant, P is pressure and T is temperature.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

To find the heat of vaporization for one of the compounds of the four, take n-pentane

Concept Introduction:

Heat of vaporisation ΔH2calc is given as

  ΔH2calcΔH1= 1 T r2 1 T r1 0.38

Where,

Tr2=T2Tc

Tr1=T1Tc

Latent heat of vaporisation at normal boiling point, Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, Chapter 4, Problem 4.10P , additional homework tip  125.79 kJ/mol = Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, Chapter 4, Problem 4.10P , additional homework tip  2

  ΔH2calc = Latent heat of vaporisation at 25o C (in J/mol)

  ΔH2=m×ΔH25

where, m = molecular weight = 72.15 g/mol

  ΔH25 = Latent heat of vaporisation at 25 oC (in kJ/g) = 366.3 J/g = 0.3663 kJ/g

  ΔH2 = Latent heat of vaporisation at 25 oC (in kJ/mol)
