1-An open container with 2.0L of benzene (specific gravity of 0.8) is left under a laboratory hood.If the hood has an air volume of 12 m3 (i.e.,12000L), and equilibrium conditions are established almost immediately, what is the benzene concentration in the air? How much benzene remains as spilled liquid?If the hood is ventilated at the rate of 0.5m3/hr, how much of the benzene will remain as liquid after 1 hour? How long does it take for the concentrations under the hood to drop to 10% of the saturation level?
Hi
Since nothing is mentioned we can take the condition as the ambient
conditions.
T=298 K and pressure =1atm
By use of Antonie cofficients we can find the value of the
saturated vapor pressure of Benzene at this temperature.
lnPs = A- B/T+C
Here A,B, C are the constants and Ps is the saturated pressure in
bar.
A=4.72
B=1660.65
C= -1.46
Keeping the values in the above equation we get
Ps =0.41 bar
External pressure = 1 atm =1.01 bar
So the mole fraction of the Benzene in the vapor =partial pressure
of Benzene /Total pressure.
=0.41/1.01
=0.405
Volume of the room =12 m^3.
We can neglect the volume of the liquid.
We know that at 25 o C and 1 atm , one mole of gas occupies the
total volume of 24.4 L =0.0244 m^3.
Moles of the total air mixture in room = volume / volume of one
mole=12/0.0244=491.40 moles
Moles of benzene in the air = 491.40*0.405
=199 moles
Moles of the Benzene liquid available =Mass/Molecular mass =
2000*0.8/78 =20.51 moles
(Specific gravity is 0.8)
Since the required moles are less than that required for the
saturated case and all the Benzne will go in the vapor phase.
When we are supplying air at a rate of 0.5 m^3 per hour.
Mole fraction of Benzene in the room =Moles of Benzene /Total
moles
= 20.51/491.4
=0.041 mole benzne /mole of air.
Since in every hour we are replacing 0.5 m^3 of air with new air ,
concentration will become 11.5/12 times of initial value.
After t hours mole fraction of the Benzne =
0.041*(11.5/12)^t
Time required for dropping the value to the 10 % is t1 say.
0.041*(11.5/12)^t1=0.041/10
t1 =54 hours
Hope this helps
Thanks

INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
