Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Determine the degrees of freedom exist for the system.
Concept introduction:
Gibbs Phase Rule,
The Gibbs Phase Rule is defined as the number of degrees of freedom in an equilibrium system, this is calculated using the number of separate phases and the number of chemical constituents in the closed system.
The degree of freedom (F) is given by the equation as,
Where, C = distinct compounds involved in the system, P = number of phases present in the system
(b)
Interpretation:
Estimate whether the given constitutes in the vessel are explosive.
Concept introduction:
Antoine equation
Antoine equations describe the relationshipbetween vapor pressure and temperature for pure components. This is a semi-empirical relationship.

Pure ethane enters a flow reactor at 6 atm and 1100 K, with the pressure drop can be negligible. This reaction follows an elementary rate law. C2H6 → C2H4 + H2 a) Express the concentration of each species solely as a function of conversion. b) Write the reaction rate (the unit is mol/L-s) solely as a function of conversion (*rate constant k will be used in this mathematical expression). What is the unit of k. c) If this reaction is carried out in a constant volume batch reactor now, how to express the concentration of each species solely as a function of conversion?arrow_forward
- #1 For the following liquid phase reaction, ethylene oxide reacts with water to form ethylene glycol in a CSTR. The entering concentrations of ethylene oxide and water are 16.13 mol/L and 55.5 mol/L, respectively. The reaction rate constant k = 0.1 L/mol·s at 300 K. This reaction follows an elementary rate law. Taking ethylene oxide as the limiting species (i.e., basis of the calculation). ན CH₂-OH | H2SO4 CH2-CH₂+H₂O CH₂-OH a) Express the concentration of each species solely as a function of conversion. b) Write the reaction rate solely as a function of conversion at 300 K.arrow_forward#4 The gas phase reaction, as given below is carried out isothermally in a PFR with no pressure drop. The feed is equal molar in A and B, and the entering concentration of A is 0.1 mol/L. 2A + B → C a) What is the entering concentration of B? b) What are the concentrations of A, B, and C at 25% conversion of A? c) If at a particular conversion, the rate of formation of C is 2 mol/L-min, what is the rate of consumption of A at the same conversion?arrow_forward#3 Orthonitroanaline (an important intermediate in dyes - called fast orange) is formed from the reaction of orthonitroanaline (ONCB) and aqueous ammonia. This liquid phase reaction is first order in both ONCB and ammonia with k = 0.0017 m³/kmol·min at 188 °C. The initial entering concentration of ONCB and ammonia are 1.8 kmol/m³ and 6.6 kmol/m³, respectively. ONCB is used as the basis of calculation. NO2 CI NO2 NH₂ + NHCI +2NH₂ a) Express the concentration of each species solely as a function of conversion.arrow_forward

The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76. Due to an experimental error, the actual pH was not recorded, and we need to solve for the concentration of the conjugate base (A⁻) given that the desired pH should be 4.90. Use the Bisection Method to find the concentration of A.arrow_forward
