3. A tank has leaked a 50% : 50% (% by weight) mixture of liquid benzene (C&Hs and liquid o-xylen...
1. If you mix a 100 mL liquid solution containing equal parts by moles of benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene, and o-xylene in a 1 L closed container, what's the partial pressure of toluene in the gas phase of the container? Given the vapor pressure of benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene, and o-xylene are 12.7 kPa, 3.8 kPa, 0.88 kPa, and 1.27 kPa, respectively. a) 0.95 kPa b) 3.8 kPa c) 4.7 kPa d) 18.65 kPa 2. Given the pKa of acetic acid (CH3COOH)...
3-5. An ideal liquid mixture of benzene and toluene (50% by volume each) is used in a plant at 27°C and 1 atm. Determine (a) the mixture TLV, (b) the evaporation rate per unit area for this mixture, and (c) the ventilation rate required to keep the concentration below the TLV if the liquid is contained in a drum with a bung diameter of 5.1 cm. Assume the ven- tilation quality within the vicinity is average. Table AE-1 Hazardous Chemicals...
