1. A gas mixture containing 85.0 mole% N2 and the balance N-hexane flows through a pipe at a rate of 100.0 m3/h. The pressure is 2.00 atm absolute and the temperature is 100o C. a What is the molar flow rate of the gas in kmol/h? b Is the gas saturated? If not, to what temperature (o C) would it have to be cooled at constant pressure in order to begin condensing hexane? c To what temperature (o C) would the gas have to be cooled at constant pressure in order to condense 80% of the hexane?

Question

1. A gas mixture containing 85.0 mole% N2 and the balance N-hexane flows through a pipe
at a rate of 100.0 m3/h. The pressure is 2.00 atm absolute and the temperature is 100o C.

a What is the molar flow rate of the gas in kmol/h?
b Is the gas saturated? If not, to what temperature (o C) would it have to be cooled at
constant pressure in order to begin condensing hexane?
c To what temperature (o C) would the gas have to be cooled at constant pressure in
order to condense 80% of the hexane?
