The chromatographic separation happens in a specific way. Answer the following questions about the procedure:
We fill the column approximately 2/3 of the way. What would be the consequence of only barely filling the column with alumina?
We gradually add petroleum ether to the column, always making sure to have the petroleum ether level adjust to right above the alumina level, before adding more. Why is this necessary?
What would be the specific consequence of eluting the column with diethyl ether first, and then petroleum ether second?

Question 1: Consider the following reaction:
SO2Cl2(g)⇌SO2(g)+Cl2(g)
Kc=2.99×10−7 at 227 ∘C
If a reaction mixture initially contains 0.195 MSO2Cl2, what is the equilibrium concentration of Cl2at 227 ∘C??
Question 2:
Consider the reaction
CO(g)+H2O(g)⇌CO2(g)+H2(g)
Kc=102 at 500 K
A reaction mixture initially contains 0.130 MCOand 0.130 MH2O.
What will be the equilibrium concentration of H2O?
Question 3:
The following reaction was performed in a sealed vessel at 768 ∘C :
H2(g)+I2(g)⇌2HI(g)
Initially, only H2 and I2 were present at concentrations of [H2]=3.65M and [I2]=2.70M. The equilibrium concentration of I2 is 0.0800 M . What is the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction at this temperature?

Note that 1 calorie (4.2 J) is the energy needed to raise 1 gram
of water 1 degree, and recall that a food calorie is actually a
kilocalorie
Use whatever approximations you need, but state what they
are.

1) How much ice water must you drink and so heat up to equal the energy in a chocolate glazed donut?
2) Will drinking ice water work as a weight loss strategy?
3) How about standing on a windy mountaintop soaking wet?
4) How far must you job to burn off the calories in that donut?

Suppose you’re building a vacation cottage up in the Rocky Mountains and you are concerned about the depth at which a new water line should be buried to avoid freezing during the cold winter weather. The soil there is dry and homogenous with a thermal diffusivity of 0.02 ft2/hr and a thermal conductivity of0.48 Btu/ ft hr °F . Suppose the initial temperature is 45 °F everywhere. At t=0, a very strong cold front moves in and the ambient temperature drops to –15 °F, and remains there for 48 hrs. How deep should the water line be so that the soil around the pipe does not fall below 30 °F during this period? Also, what is the heat flux at that depth at t=48 hrs?

Separation Process:
Consider the in-class demonstration problem involving the MeOH/water separation. Suppose that a saturated steam feed was injected into the bottom of column (it is sparged to get good contact with the liquid that is falling down from the tray above its entrance). Take the specifications for the feed to be identical as in the McCabe-Thiele demonstration done in class
(zF = 0.36, F = 216.8 kmol/h). Further, the compositions of the distillate and the bottoms
should be the same as in the demonstration: mole fraction of MeOH is xD = 0.915 and xW = 0.00565. The saturated steam feed is entering at 200 kmol/h.

What are the internal vapour and liquid flow rates now? Are the distillate or bottoms flow rates significantly different compared to the previous case?
What is the actual reflux ratio under these conditions?
What is the equation of the lower operating line now?
Further, determine the number of ideal stages and compare to the demonstration in class. Describe any advantages or disadvantages of using steam injection compared to the previous case

During the very first step of titration of an unknown acid, is it important how much distilled water we add?(after pipetting 10 ml of the unknown acid)
Does it have to be just enough to soak the pH electrode or it is important and we have to be precise with it as it defines the molarity?
THE QUESTION IS ABOUT ACID-BASE TITRATION.
Please answer legibly. Please EXPLAIN your answer. (yes and no is not enough). THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

Using a value of CA0= 6 mol/liter, prepare a plot of conversion Vs. ktau, for a first-order reaction and a second-order reactionconducted in a CSTR
First, derive an expression for X = f(ktau)and then make the graph.
The graph should cover a range from 0 to 0.95 for X and from 0
to 35 for
ktau. Find the k^tau value, at which the conversion becomes higher
for the
first-order reaction than for the second-order reaction.
(b) Explain in your own words why, for a given k tau, a higher
conversion is
reached for the second-order reaction at low conversions, while
the
opposite is true at high conversions.
