1 A mixture of CuSO4.5H2O and FeSO4.7H2O weighs 100 g. It is heated in an oven 4
to evaporate the water of hydration. The mass of mixture after removal of water is
59.78 g. Calculate the mass ratio of CuSO4 to FeSO4 in the mixture.
[Data: Atomic mass of Fe and Cu are 56 and 64]
2 In a distillation column, an equimolar mixture of ethanol, propanol, and butanol is 6
separated into an overhead stream containing 66⅔% ethanol and no butanol and a
bottom stream containing no ethanol. Calculate the overhead and bottoms streams
and compositions for a feed rate of 100 mol/h.
3 A purification system with recycle is used to recover the solvent DMF from a waste 10
gas containing 55% DMF in air. The product is to have only 10% DMF. Calculate
the recycle fraction assuming that the purification unit can remove two thirds of
the DMF in the combined feed to the unit.
F, DMF 55%
Flow Splitter E
Purification Unit DMF
Air
Air 90%
D
DMF
