A mixture of benzene <strong>and</strong> toluene exists as a gas-liquid system in equilibriumin a closed system at 80ºC. The gas phase contains 65% molebenzene <strong>and</strong> 35% mole toluene. Assume that the vapor pressure of benzene= 756 <strong>and</strong> that of toluene = 287 mm Hg at 80ºC.a. Find the total pressure of the system.b. What is the composition of the liquid phase?4.2. In a gas-liquid binary system containing a solute A, the bulk mole fractionof A in the gas phase, Y 1 , is 0.00035, <strong>and</strong> that in the liquid phase,X 1 , is 0.03. Assume X 1 * = 0.02, Y i = 0.0004, <strong>and</strong> k L = 0.01.a. Determine the Henry’s Constant of the solute.b. Construct the equilibrium diagram <strong>for</strong> the system.c. Determine Y 1 * <strong>and</strong> X i .d. Determine the overall mass transfer coefficients, K L <strong>and</strong> K G .e. In what direction will the solute tend to flow?f. List four different equations to calculate the mass transfer flux <strong>and</strong>verify that all four equations yield the same result.4.3. At an industrial facility, an open holding tank is used to equalize <strong>and</strong>store wastewaters <strong>for</strong> weekly discharge. Water samples taken from thistank indicate 2 mg dissolved oxygen in a 100-g water sample.a. Determine the direction of oxygen flux under this condition.b. When equilibrium is reached, what would be the dissolved oxygenconcentration in the water (in mg/L)?c. To contain air emissions, this tank is now being covered, <strong>and</strong> the headspaceis pressurized to 1.1 atm. Also, the headspace is enriched with oxygen.What should be the oxygen content (in %) in the headspace toensure 20 mg/L of dissolved oxygen when the tank is discharged?Assume Henry’s Constant of oxygen = 2.28 × 10 7 mm Hg/mole fraction.4.4. A continuous flow of an aqueous waste stream containing toluene ispretreated by holding it in a closed tank <strong>and</strong> scavenging the headspacewith a continuous flow of air.00© 2002 by CRC Press LLC
