A pycnometer is a device used to measure densities. You are in the lab and need to measure the density of an unknown solid. The pycnometer is weighed empty and once again when it is filled with methanol at 18°C (the density of methanol at 18°C is 0.7914 g/mL). The following data is obtained:

        Mass of the pycnometer: 127.111 g

        Mass of the pycnometer and the methanol: 378.024 g

The pycnometer is emptied and 17.66 g of solid are placed into it. It is then refilled with water at 18°C (density of water at 18°C = 0.99862 g/mL) and is found to have a mass of 459.704 g.  You are told the solid is one of the following:

Copper: (d = 8.96 g/mL)

Gold: (d = 19.30 g/mL)

Silver (d = 10.50 g/mL)

What is the identity of the solid?

You hear about an opportunity for a process engineer with a company that is starting a new commercial plant to produce ethanol from hybrid poplar trees. You apply and soon get called for an interview!

As a good candidate for the position, you do your own search about the company before visiting it, and find out that their current process uses direct fermentation of sugars to obtain ethanol. They are heavily considering an alternative option, though, which employs fermentation of sugars to acetic acid, followed by hydrogenation of the acetic acid to produce ethanol. The article you read about this only mentions that this alternative “reduces carbon emissions”.

As it turns out, during the interview you are asked to provide a detailed, technical opinion about each one of these two routes. Specifically, you are asked about the challenges involved in separation: in one case, you need to separate ethanol from water after fermentation, in the other case you need to separate acetic acid from water after fermentation. You remember the concepts you learned in class about multiphase, multicomponent systems and attempts to answer the following questions: How would you design a system for separation in each case? What type of separation? What would be the challenges involved?

In addition, your response could include other aspects such as the stoichiometry of each reaction, and potential energy requirements. Be as quantitative as possible.

In your previous studies last semester, you encountered reactions went to completion and were written A + B → C + D. You are now learning about reactions that achieve equilibrium and are written A + B ↔ C + D. Give the definitions of both types of reactions and justify the statement using mathematical relations that "reactions that go to completion are a subclass of the more general equilibrium reaction."
