ENGR266 Summer 2023 Q A2[PARTIAL] official answers Left out: Part (b) (excess volume) and part (c) (modified Raoult's law with activity coefficients) go beyond the current formula sheet, which only has ideal Raoult's and Henry's laws. Parts (a) and (d) are on-syllabus.
Answer ALL parts (a) - (d).
Formulas you may need
- [EXTERNAL] Excess property: (learn this; not on the current formula sheet)
- [EXTERNAL] Modified Raoult's law: , so (learn this; the sheet only has ideal Raoult )
- Antoine equation as given: (given in the question)
- Equilibrium constant for ideal gases: (on the formula sheet as )
- Extent of reaction: , (learn this)
- (a)[5]ThirdSketch a T x y diagram and label the liquid, vapour and liquid-vapour regions as well as the bubble and dew curves
- (b)[4]ThirdCalculate the excess volume for the propanol(1)/water(2) mixture with a mole fraction of 0.16656 propanol at if the mixture's volume is . The volume for propanol and water at are and respectively.
- (c)[4]2:2Calculate the pressure required to hold the chloroform(1)/methanol(2) system in vapour-liquid equilibrium at if the mole fractions of chloroform in the liquid and vapour phase are 0.44 and 0.657 respectively. The activity coefficients are and and the saturation pressures can be found using the Antoine equations below:
- (d)[12]The cracking of pure n-butane via the reaction below is performed at 750 K, where the equilibrium constant, , for the reaction is 6.0. Calculate the mole fractions for all species if the reaction starts from 1 mole of C4H10 and is carried out in the gas phase where the pressure is 2 bar and standard pressure is 1 bar. You can assume all species are ideal gasses.
