Toluene

Use numerical simulations (Aspen Plus) to determine the best reactor system and conditions for maximizing gross margin (Total Sales of Product – Total Cost of Reactants).  Write a short project report for the engineers at ABC Chemicals documenting your findings.

ChE 321 – Design Project 2 The Scenario: Professor Lite’s research group has continued to study their new catalyst that increases the rate of the reaction (1)    Toluene + Methanol   p-Xylene + Water They quickly noticed, however, that the rate of p-xylene production was less than the rate at which toluene was consumed.  […]

Calculate the mole fractions of methanol and ethanol in a solution obtained by mixing 100 g of each. Calculate the partial pressures and the total vapor pressure of the solution.

HOMEWORK SET No. 8 The boiling point of hexane at 1 atm is 68.7 °C. What is the boiling point at 1 bar? Given: The vapor pressure of hexane at 49.6 o C is 53.32 k Pa. Liquid mercury has a density of 13.690 g cm−3 , and solid mercury has a density of 14.193 […]

What is the change in molar Gibbs energy? What would be the change in molar Gibbs energy if the process occurred irreversibly?

Chemistry 340 Physical Chemistry for Biochemists One mole of nitrogen is allowed to expand from 0.5 to 10 L. Calculate the change in entropy using the ideal gas law. (a) Integrate the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation to obtain an expression for ∆G2 at temperature T2 in terms of ∆G1 at 1 T , assuming ∆H is independent […]
