(a)
Interpretation:
The number of variables, in addition to the mass of each component and the temperature that must be specified to fully determine the intensive state of the system should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The physical properties of the materials or a system can frequently be classified as either intensive or extensive, as how the property alters when the size or the extent of the system transforms. An intensive property is the one whose magnitude does not dependent on the size of the system while the extensive property is the one whose extent is additive for subsystems.
Intensive property is a physical attribute of the system which does not depend on the size or the quantity of material present in the system. For instance, temperature, refractive index, density, hardness of object etc.
On the contrary, the extensive attribute is additive for the subsystems, which means the system could be separated into any quantity of the subsystems, and the extensive attribute calculated for every subsystem; the value of the attribute for the system would be the total sum of the attribute for each of the subsystem. For instance, mass, volume, etc.
The minimum number of intensive variables which need to be defined in order to define the system is 2.
Given:
A closed vessel of fixed volume having equal masses of water, ethanol, and toluene at 70 °C. Three phases (two liquid and one vapor) are present.
Calculation:
The number of intensive variables which need to be specified can be calculated by using the following formula:
where, C is number of components in the system (= 3), P is number of phases in the system (= 3), F is the degree of system
The degree of freedom is 2. Hence, the minimum number of intensive variables which need to be defined to define the system is 2.

Answer to Problem 12.1P
There is no requirement to define the additional variables to describe the extensive state of the system.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A closed vessel of fixed volume having equal masses of water, ethanol, and toluene at 70 °C. Three phases (two liquid and one vapor) are present.
The external variables do not help in determining the state of the system. These variables only aid us to characterize the system.

Interpretation:
Whether the increase in temperature of the system to 72 °C will affect any, intensive or extensive coordinates of the system or not.

Intensive property is a physical attribute of the system which doesn’t depend on the size or the quantity of material present in the system. For instance, temperature, refractive index, density, hardness of object etc.

For instance, mass, volume, etc.
The extensive property does not affect the system if the temperature of the system is raised from 70 °C to 72 °C, as these properties only distinguish the system yet to describe the system, we need intensive variables.
Given:
A closed vessel of fixed volume having equal masses of water, ethanol, and toluene at 70 °C. Three phases (two liquid and one vapor) are present.
Explanation:
The temperature of the system is raised to 72 °C. Suppose any intensive or extensive variables of the system stay unchanged.
The system can be described at any temperature (T) with the utilization of intensive attributes, but as the temperature is raised, it will cause an alteration in the intensive property which isindependent of mass. If the intensive property of the system remains unchanged, it can lead to unfeasibility of the process that the system undergoes.

- Hydrogenation of Ethylbenzene to Styrene Reaction: C₈H₁₀ → C₈H₈ + H₂ΔHᵣ°(300°C) = -124 kJ/mol (exact value unknown) Process Description: The basis is 1000 kg/h of separated styrene. The reaction conversion rate is 35%. The temperature increase in heat exchanger 2 is adiabatic. A fresh stream of pure ethylbenzene (25°C) enters a mixing vessel, where it is combined with a recycle stream (from the distillation column, as explained later), which also consists of pure ethylbenzene at 25°C. After mixing, the stream is sent to a heat exchanger (HX1), where the mixture is heated to 200°C. Next, the mixture enters an adiabatic heat exchanger (HX2), where it is further heated to 300°C by adding steam (at 350°C). This steam is used to prevent side reactions and carbon deposition in the reactor. The heated mixture is then fed into the reactor, where the reaction takes place with a conversion rate of 35%. As a result, the mixture cools down to 260°C. The resulting mixture is then sent to HX4, where…arrow_forwardChemical Engineering Questionarrow_forward4.5arrow_forward

The thermal decomposition of nitric oxide at elevated temperatures 2NO → N₂+02 has been studied in a batch reactor where at temperatures below 2000K the rate expression that applies to low conversions is: r = kCm05 Co At high conversions, or when the initial mixture contains a high concentration of O2 the rate expression is given by: r = k' Cм0.5 C15C0,5 To explain these kinetics the following chain reaction mechanism has been proposed: Initiation: Propagation: 2NON₂O +0 k₂ E1=272.0 kJ/mol 0+ NO O₂+ N E₂-161.0 kJ/mol N+NO N₂+0 E3-1.4 kJ/mol K4 20+ MO₂+M E4=14.0 kJ/mol ks Termination: where M is any molecule capable of the energy transfer necessary to stabilize the oxygen molecule. Once appreciable amounts of O2 are present in the reaction mixture, the initiation reaction that is the primary source of atomic oxygen is no longer the first reaction. Instead, the following reaction begins to dominate the chain initiation process: Initiation (high O2): ks NO +0₂ NO₂+0 E5=198.0 kJ/mol a.…arrow_forward2:41 2) If the number-average degree of polymerization for styrene obtained by the bulk polymerization at 25°C is 5,000, what would be the number-average degree of polymerization if conducted in a 10% solution in toluene (900g of toluene per 100 g of styrene) under otherwise identical conditions?
