The value of Trouton's ratio (Tbλb) for a number of substances is 21 (where, λb = molal that of vaporisation of a substance at its normal boiling point, kcal/kg.mole and Tb = normal boiling point, °K). The Kis-tyakowsky equation is used for calculation of Trouton's ratio of __________ liquids.
The vapor pressures of benzene and toluene are 3 and 34 atmospheres respectively. A liquid feed of 0.4 moles of benzene and 0.6 moles of toluene is vapourised. Assuming that the products are in equilibrium, the vapor phase mole fraction of benzene is
Raoult's law states that 'the equilibrium vapor pressure that is exerted by a component in a solution is proportional to the mole fraction of that component'. This generalisation is based on the assumption that the
Heat capacity of air can be approximately expressed as, Cp = 26.693 + 7.365 × 10-3 T, where, Cp is in J/mole.K and T is in K. The heat given off by 1 mole of air when cooled at atmospheric pressure from 500°C to -100°C is
Methane is mixed with stoichiometric proportion of oxygen and completely combusted. The number of additional specifications required to determine the product flow rate and composition is
A butane isomerisation process produces 70 kmole/hr of pure isobutane. A purge stream removed continuously, contains 85% n-butane and 15% impurity (mole%). The feed stream is n-butane containing 1% impurity (mole%). The flow rate of the purge stream will be
