A shell-and-tube heat exchanger uses cooling water in the tubes. There are two pressure gages installed on the the water side to the heat exchanger. Gage 1 (P1) is installed on the inlet water line, which is connected to the lower nozzle, while Gage (P2) is installed on the discharge water line, which is connected to the upper nozzle. Both pressure gages are very near the nozzle flanges. The pressure drop from each pressure gage to the exchanger channel is 1 psi. The vertical distance between the two pressure gages is 4’-8”. The current pressure difference in tube-side pressure drop (P1 – P2) is 6 psi. If the number of tube passes were changed from 2 to 4 (with no appreciable change in the exchanger tube count), the water side pressure drop P1 – P2 (psi) would be most nearly:

Choose the best laboratory technique to use in each of the following situations. Each answer should only be used once.

1. You want to conform the identity of a solid organic molecule you have extracted from a flower petal. You do not have a standard sample of this material to compare it to but you do know the name of this molecule and have reference books you can use to look up physical properties of organic molecules.

2. Separation of two liquids in a volume of 76 mL that are mixed together is your goal. You plan on recovering the liquids after separation to run further tests on their properties. You know that the boiling point of liquid A is 86oC and the boiling point of liquid B is 112oC.

3. You are planning to carry out a reaction of two solids dissolved in water and know that it will require heating to 90oC for 3-4 hours. What technique can you use to accomplish this?

4. You carried out a microscale organic synthesis reaction and suspect that you have a mixture of products in your 0.4 mL sample. All your suspected products have boiling points over 280oC but different polarities. You would like to check to see if your sample is a mixture and what the relative concentrations of the different components of the mixture are without using all of your product. What technique would work best?

What technique would work best for separating the components of gasoline and identifying any heptane present?

6. You have a sample of a solid pigment extract from a blue flower petal that you want to analyze to see if the color comes from one pigment molecule or a mixture.
