1. The temperature where the first vapor is formed, when heating a liquid consisting of two or more components
a) Dew point
b) Bubble point
c) Final point
d) Aniline point
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The temperature where the first vapor is formed when heating a liquid consisting of two or more components Bubble point, while when the first drop of aniline separates out is called the aniline point.

2. The below equation holds for
The equation holds for K & Bubble relation representing Nc as number of components
a) K and X relation
b) K and Bubble relation
c) Components and K values relation
d) Nc Relation
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: At the bubble point, the following relationship holds always, representing Nc as number of components and yi as the mole fraction of all components.

3. The K in the below equation holds for
The K in the below equation holds for distribution Factor equivalent to each other
a) Distribution Factor
b) Henry Factor
c) Vapor Factor
d) Dew factor
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: K is the distribution coefficient, defined as the ratio of mole fraction in the vapor phase, these are not always equal but are somehow equivalent to each other.

4. When Raoult’s law and Dalton’s law hold for the mixture, the K factor is
a) Pi/P
b) Yi/Xi
c) Y*/X
d) X*/X
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: When Raoult’s law and Dalton’s law hold for the mixture, the K factor is Pi/P, indicating Pi as the partial pressure of system and P as total pressure.

6. The BP Method generally work best for
a) Narrow Boiling systems
b) Ideal systems
c) Nearly ideal systems
d) Any systems
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The BP Method generally work for Narrow Boiling systems, Ideal systems and nearly ideal systems as boiling point of a component does not vary much as compared to other properties.

a) All the filter
b) Both side of wetted filter
c) One side of a wetted filter
d) Not specified
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: To perform a Bubble Point Test, gas is applied to one side of a wetted filter, with the tubing downstream.

8. The equation below gives us the
Capillary Rise equation diameter of capillary & P is pressure applied
a) Reflux equation
b) Dew point equation
c) Stage efficiency equation
d) Capillary Rise equation
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The equation above gives us the Capillary Rise equation, d is the diameter of the capillary and P is the pressure applied and cos is the angle of inclination.

9. Bubble point equation is used for
a) Reflux and feed rate
b) Vapor and liquid composition
c) Venting and filtration
d) Equilibrium phases
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Bubble point equation is used for Venting and filtration purposes as the liquid evaporates the filtration of pure liquid can be achieved using condensation technique.
