Solid calcium fluoride (CaF2) reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to form solid calcium sulfate (Ca... Solid calcium fluoride (CaF2) reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to form solid calcium sulfate (CaSO4) and gaseous hydrogen fluoride (HF). The HF is then dissolved in water to form hydrofluoric acid. A source of calcium fluoride is fluorite ore containing 96.0 wt% CaF2 and 4.0 wt% SiO2. In a typical hydrofluoric acid manufacturing process, fluorite ore is reacted with 93 wt% aqueous sulfuric acid, supplied 15% in excess of the stoichiometric amount. 95% of the ore dissolves in the acid. The HF(g) exiting the reactor is subsequently dissolved in enough water to produce 60.0 wt% HF (aq). Calculate the product composition from the reactor, and also the amount of water required to generate a 60.0 wt% HF solution.

A gas which obeys the equation of state, PV/RT=1 +BP , where B is a known
temperature-dependent parameter, is fed at a steady rate to an insulated valve where its pressure is reduced from P1 to P2. Given that the upstream temperature of the gas is T1 and that the constant-pressure molar heat capacity of the gas in the ideal gas state is given by Cp* = a + bT, where a and b are known constants, derive an expression for the temperature T2 of the gas downstream from the valve. Express your answer in terms of the parameters given above. Neglect the effect of any kinetic energy change across the valve.

A bicycle rider is interested in the effects of temperature on air density. A change in temperature will also affect the tire pressure.

a) Write a computer program that calculates air density at atmospheric pressure for temperatures from -10?C to 50?C.

b) Assume that a bicycle tire is inflated to an absolute pressure of 450 kPa at 20?C. Assume also that the volume of the tire does not change with temperature. Write a program to show how the tire pressure changes with the temperature in the same range, -10?C to 50?C.

Prepare a table or graph or both.

5. Boris recently synthesized an explosive compound he named Badenoughium. The molecular formula for Bdenoughium is H5C3N3O9. The balance chemical equation for the ignition of Badenoughium is: 4 H5C3N3O9 (l) ? 12 CO2 (g) + 10 H2O (g) + O2 (g) + 6 N2 (g) a. When Badenoughium is ignited it has a ?H o rxn of - 5678 kJ. i. Determine the ?H o f for the compound Badenoughium. ii. Determine the ?H o rxn for when 1.25 grams of Badnenoughium is ignited. b.

Determine the total pressure in the reaction vessel after 1.25 grams of Badenoughium has been igntited.

the adiabatic flame temperature (theoretical maximum temperature) of black coal in air is over 2000^oC. If the ambient temperature is 20^oC then the theoretical maximum efficiency of a coal fired power station is approximately 87%.

Why then is the efficiency of even the best coal fired power stations less than 50%.
