Question:
- A chemical process requires a feed stream containing 60 mol% of component A and 40 mol% of component B. The desired product stream should contain 80 mol% of component A and 20 mol% of component B. How much of the feed stream should be recycled to achieve this?
- A chemical reaction is carried out in a batch reactor with a total volume of 1000 liters. The initial concentration of the reactant is 0.5 mol/liter and the reaction rate constant is 0.02/min. What is the concentration of the reactant after 30 minutes?
- A distillation column is used to separate a mixture of ethanol and water with a feed composition of 40 mol% ethanol and 60 mol% water. The desired distillate composition is 80 mol% ethanol, and the bottoms product should contain no more than 5 mol% ethanol. What is the minimum number of theoretical trays required to achieve this separation?
