a) 0.35
b) 0.45
c) 0.75
d) 0.95
View answer
Explanation: Glucose balance: 5*0.5 + 15*0.3 = x*20, => x = 0.35.
6. Two feeds, F1 with H = 10 J/mole and F2 with H = 20 J/mole, and product 10 moles with H = 15 J/mole, what is the F1?
a) 5 mole
b) 10 mole
c) 15 mole
d) 20 mole
View answer
Explanation: Energy balance: 10*F1 + 20*F2 = 10*15, => F1 + F2 = 10, => F1 = 5 mole.
7. Two feeds, F1 with H = 10 J/mole and F2 with H = 25 J/mole, and product 15 moles with H = 15 J/mole, what is the F2?
a) 5 mole
b) 10 mole
c) 15 mole
d) 20 mole
View answer
Explanation: Energy balance: 10*F1 + 25*F2 = 15*15, => F1 + F2 = 15, => F2 = 5 mole.
8. Two feeds, 10 moles with H = 10 J/mole and 5 with H = 25 J/mole, what is the enthalpy of products?
a) 5 J/mole
b) 10 J/mole
c) 15 J/mole
d) 20 J/mole
View answer
Explanation: Energy balance: 10*10 + 5*25 = 15*H, => H = 15 J/mole.
9. Two feeds, 15 moles with H = 10 J/mole and 10 with H = 20 J/mole, what is the enthalpy of products?
a) 8 J/mole
b) 12 J/mole
c) 18 J/mole
d) 25 J/mole
View answer
Explanation: 25*H = 15*10 + 10*20, => H = 18 J/mole.
10. Two feeds, F1 with H = 10 J/mole and 5 moles with H = 20 J/mole, if the mole of products is 10 what is the enthalpy of products?
a) 10 J/mole
b) 15 J/mole
c) 20 J/mole
d) 25 J/mole
View answer
Explanation: 10*5 + 5*20 = 10*H, => H = 15 J/mole.
11. Three feeds, 10 mole with H = 5 J/mole, 10 mole with H = 15 J/mole and 5 mole with 20 J/mole, what is the enthalpy of the products?
a) 10 J/mole
b) 12 J/mole
c) 15 J/mole
d) 24 J/mole
View answer
Explanation: 25*H = 10*5 + 10*15 + 5*20, => H = 12 J/mole.
12. Three feeds, 10 mole with H = 25 J/mole, 5 mole with H = 10 J/mole and 15 mole with 20 J/mole, what is the enthalpy of the products?
a) 10 J/mole
b) 12 J/mole
c) 20 J/mole
d) 28 J/mole
View answer
Explanation: 30*H = 10*25 + 5*10 + 15*20, => H = 20 J/mole.
13. Three feeds, 10 mole with H = 15 J/mole, 20 mole with H = 5 J/mole and F1 with 20 J/mole, if enthalpy of the products is H = 15 J/mole, what is the value of F1?
a) 10 mole
b) 20 mole
c) 30 mole
d) 40 mole
View answer
Explanation: 10*15 + 20*5 + F1*20 = (30 + F1)*15, => F1 = 40 mole.
