2: LIQUID AND VAPOR MIXTURES (SAMPLE PROBLEMS)
Physical Principles 1 Lecture
Sherrie Mae S. Medez Adamson University Chemical Engineering Department SAMPLE PROBLEMS 7) Calculate the composition of the vapor phase in equilibrium with a solution containing 40.0 g benzene and 60.0 g toluene at 300C. The vapor pressures at this temperature are 118.2 mmHg and 36.7 mmHg, respectively. SAMPLE PROBLEMS 8) Suppose that in an ideal 2-liquid solution, XA = 0.40 and the temperature is lower than the boiling point of component A. a) What will happen when the temperature is raised? b) What can be said about the compositions and amounts of the phase where there are 2 in equilibrium? SAMPLE PROBLEMS 9) When an unknown organic compound was steam distilled at an atmospheric pressure of 753.6 mmHg, the boiling temperature is 84.50C. The layers in the distillate were separated and weighed; the water weighed 8.61 g and the organic compound, 38.45 g. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown compound. SAMPLE PROBLEMS 10) A common application of the distribution phenomenon is the test for iodide ion, in which the ion is oxidized to iodine. Adding CCl4 and shaking will remove most of the iodine from water, as can be seen by the characteristic red-violet color of I2 in CCl4. If we measure the concentrations of I2 in both solvents and find I2 in CCl4 is 0.0560 M and I2 in H2O is 0.000655 M, what is the value of the distribution coefficient?
