______ 1. Two thousand kilograms of five percent slurry of calcium hydroxide
in water is to be prepared by diluting twenty percent slurry. The percentages
are by weight. How much 20% slurry do you need?
a. 500 kg
b. 1500 kg
c. 1750 kg d. none of these
For nos. 2 to 4______ 2. Consider the production of a nitration acid by mixing 70% nitric and
98% sulfuric acid. How much is the number of distinct chemical species in
this process?
a. 2
b. 3
c. 4
d. 5
a. 94.4%
9.45%
b. 5.44%
c. 10%
d.
b. 93.1%
c. 66.7%
d. 49.33%
_______ 12. In the production of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen, the
conversion, based on either raw material, is limited to 15%. The ammonia
produced is condensed from the reactor (converter) product stream, and the
unreacted material is recycled. If the feed contains 0.2% argon (from the
nitrogen separation process), calculate the purge rate (mole purge/mole feed)
required to hold the argon in the recycle stream below 5.0%. Percentages are
by volume.
a. 4
b. 5
Answers:
1. A
2. B
3. C
(sulfuric
acid,
sulfur
trioxide, nitric acid, water.)
4. B (The sulfur trioxide will
react
with
the
water
producing sulfuric acid, so
there
are
only
three
independent components.)
c. 8
5. D
6. A
7. B
8. B
9. B
10.A
