The intermediate product of a chemical process is a chemical paste that is saturated with water. The paste is rolled into a thin layer and placed to dry in a flat area 30m long 15m wide. Drying is enhanced by blowing hot air over the paste, and the mass transfer coefficient is 0.017 m/s. Diffusion of water through the paste is rapid so that the concentration of water vapor at the surface of the paste remains constant at 0.002 gmol/L. Water must be removed from the paste remains at a minimum rate of 9.5 L/min (liquid volume). (Note:MW water=18 and p water=1 g/cm^3.)

a.) What mechanism controls the transfer of water from the paste in the air?

b.) What is the molar rate of water removal that corresponds to a volumetric removal rate of 9.5 L/min?

C.) What is the maximum concentration of water vapor allowable in the air (far from the paste surface) if water must be removed at a rate of at least 9.5 L/min?

D.) Assuming that the mass transfer coefficient remains constant, what can be done to increase the rate of water removal from the paste?

Post-Lab Questions: Answer. 1. What should you examine to determine the precision of your results? Explain. 2. What should you examine to determine the accuracy of your results? Explain. 3. If the standardization of the NaOH in Experiment 7 was not performed correctly and the experimental normality was too low, how would that affect the experimental equivalent weight being determined in this experiment? Would it be too high or too low? Explain. 4. You were allowed to weigh out between 0.35 g and 0.40 g of the unknown sample. If you used 0.35 g for Trial #1 and 0.40 g for Trial #2, would the experimental equivalent weight for Trial 2 be higher, lower or the same as that of Trial #1? Explain.

Part (a) The cyclopentadienyl anion (C5H5 - ) is commonly used aromatic ligand. The secular equations for describing the interactions of the five unhybridized p orbitals lead to a matrix of the form:

?21 − ??21 ?22 − ??22 ?23 − ??23 ?24 − ??24 ?25 − ??25
?31 − ??31 ?32 − ??32 ?33 − ??33 ?34 − ??34 ?35 − ??35
?41 − ??41 ?42 − ??42 ?43 − ??43 ?44 − ??44 ?45 − ??45
?51 − ??51 ?52 − ??42 ?53 − ??53 ?54 − ??54 ?55 − ??55)

where ??? is the Hamiltonian integral for orbitals ? and ? and ??? is the overlap integral for orbitals ? and ?. This matrix can be simplified using the approximations of Hückel molecular orbital (MO) theory, which involves two constants ? and ?.
