Synthesis of Banana Oil: What are the gram components of each distillate? What is the percent yield from the peak area?
2.16 mL Isopentyl alcohol, 2.3 mL glacial acetic acid, and 0.15mL of sulfuric acid was used to form 1.3407 g of "banana oil"
A gas chromatogram revealed that our final product contained 4 peaks. 1. 0.412 @ 9.90458 % area, 2. 1.481 @ 1.30885% area, 3. 1.722 @ 3.14633% area, and 4. 2.040 @ 85.64024% area. How can I calculate the percent yield from each peak area?

Ethanol is produced commercially by the hydration of ethylene:
C2H4+H2O-->C2H5OH
Some of the product is converted to diethyl ether in side reaction
2C2H5OH-->(C2H5)2O+H2O
The feed to the reactor contains ethylene,steam,and an inert gas. A sample of the reactor effluent gas is analyzed and found to contain 43.3 mole% ethylene, 2.5% ethanol, 0.14% ether, 9.3% inerts, and the balance water.
a. Take as a basis 100 mol of effluent gas, draw and label a flowchart, and do a degree-of-freedom analysis based on atomic species to prove that the system has zero degrees of freedom?
b. Calculate the molar composition of the reactor feed, the percentage conversion of ethylene, the fractional yield of ethanol, and the selectivity of ethnaol production relative to ether production?

A swimming pool in the neighborhood of a smelter receives atmospheric SO2 deposition. The average concentration over the pool is 300 micrograms SO2/m3. If SO2 deposition velocity is 1.2 cm/sec and all SO2 deposited on the pool is transformed to H2SO4,how much NaOH must be added to the pool (moles per square meter of surface area) weekly to neutralize the H2SO4 and prevent the pool from becoming acidified?
