ChemProc Test2 Fall05

- Propylene, ammonia, and oxygen react to produce acrylonitrile, water, and excess reactants. With 10% propylene, 12% ammonia, and 78% air, propylene is the limiting reactant. At 30% conversion of propylene, the percentages of excess ammonia and oxygen are calculated along with the molar amounts of products. - The enthalpy of n-hexane is a linear function of temperature between 30C and 50C. This equation is used to calculate the heat transfer rate needed to cool 20kg of n-hexane from 80C to 20C over 5 minutes. - Chlorobenzene vapor pressure data at two

TEST # 2 Fall 05 Question 1 (25 points): Acrylonitrile is produced in the reaction of propylene, ammonia, and oxygen: C3H6 + NH3

+ 3/2 O2 C3H3N + 3H2O

The feed contains 10.0 mole % propylene, 12.0 % ammonia, and 78.0 % air (Oxygen is 0.21 and Nitrogen is 0.79 mole fractions, respectively). A fractional conversion of 30.0 % of the limiting reactant is achieved. Taking 100 mol of feed as a basis, determine which reactant is limiting, the percentage by which each other reactants is in excess, and the molar composition of all products gas constituents for a 30 % conversion of the limiting reactant.

Question 2 (25 points): The specific enthalpy of liquid n-hexane at 1 atm varies linearly with temperature and equal 25.8 kJ/kg at 30 oC and 129.8 kJ/kg at 50 oC. The specific gravity of n-hexane at 1 atm is 0.659. a) Develop the equation that realates (kJ/kg) to t (oC). and determine the reference state. b) Derive an equation for (kJ/kg) as a function of temperature (oC). c) In a closed system, calculate the average heat transfer rate required to cool 20 kg of liquid n-hexane from 80 oC to 20 oC in 5 minutes. Express you answer in kW.

Question 3 (25 points): Pure chlorobenzene is contained in a flask attached to an open-end mercury manometer. When the flask contents are at 58.3 oC, the height of the mercury in the arm of the manometer connected to the flask is 747 mm and that in the arm open to the atmosphere is 52 mm. At 110 oC, the mercury level is 577 mm in the arm connected to the flask and 222 mm in the other arm. Atmospheric pressure is 755 mm Hg. Etrapolate the data using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to estimate the vapor pressure of cholorobenzene at 130 oC, and calculate the latent heat of vaporization of chlorobenzene in kJ/mol (assume R = 0.008314 kJ/mol. K)

Question 4 (25 points): A stream of oxygen enters a compressor at 150 atm and -119 oC at a rate of 127 m3/h and is compressed to 1550 atm and +35 oC. Estimate the volumetric flow rate of the compressed oxygen using the compressibility factor equation of state. (For oxygen, Pc = 50 atm, Tc = -119 oC)
