Chemical Engineering Questions and Answers – Liquids and Gases in Equilibrium with Solids

This set of Chemical Engineering online test focuses on “Liquids and Gases in Equilibrium with Solids”.

1. What is the fraction of a gas in a system at partial pressure 1 mm Hg, if the 0.2 fraction of the same gas is at partial pressure 2 mm Hg and 0.3 fraction at partial pressure 3 mm Hg (Use Freundlich Isotherm)?
a) 0.1
b) 0.2
c) 0.3
d) 0.4
View answer

Answer: a
Explanation: y1/y2 = (p1/p2)n, => 0.2/0.3 = (2/3)n => n = 1, => 0.2 = k*21 = k = 0.1, => y = 0.1*11 = 0.1.

2. What is the fraction of a gas in a system at partial pressure 2 mm Hg, if the 0.2 fraction of the same gas is at partial pressure 8 mm Hg and 0.3 fraction at partial pressure 18 mm Hg (Use Freundlich Isotherm)?
a) 0.0125
b) 0.0250
c) 0.0375
d) 0.0450
View answer

Answer: a
Explanation: y1/y2 = (p1/p2)n, => 0.2/0.3 = (8/18)n => n = 2, => 0.2 = k*82 = k = 0.2/64, => y = 0.2/64*22 = 0.0125.

3. What is the fraction of a gas in a system at partial pressure 1 atm, if the 0.1 fraction of the same gas is at partial pressure 2 atm and 0.2 fraction at partial pressure 4 atm (Use Freundlich Isotherm)?
a) 0.01
b) 0.03
c) 0.05
d) 0.08
View answer

Answer: c
Explanation: y1/y2 = (p1/p2)n, => 0.1/0.2 = (2/4)n => n = 1, => 0.1 = k*21 = k = 0.1/2, => y = 0.1/2 = 0.05.

4. What is the fraction of a gas in a system at partial pressure 1 atm, if the 0.2 fraction of the same gas is at partial pressure 4 atm and 0.4 fraction at partial pressure 8 atm (Use Freundlich Isotherm)?
a) 0.1
b) 0.2
c) 0.4
d) 0.5
View answer

Answer: d
Explanation: y1/y2 = (p1/p2)n, => 0.2/0.4 = (4/8)n => n = 1, => 0.2 = k*41 = k = 0.2/4, => y = 0.2/4*1 = 0.05.

5. What is the fraction of a gas in a system at partial pressure 3 atm, if the 0.2 fraction of the same gas is at partial pressure 4 atm and 0.3 fraction at partial pressure 6 atm (Use Freundlich Isotherm)?
a) 0.1
b) 0.15
c) 0.2
d) 0.25
View answer

Answer: b
Explanation: y1/y2 = (p1/p2)n, => 0.2/0.3 = (4/6)n => n = 1, => 0.2 = k*41 = k = 0.2/4, => y = 0.2/4*31 = 0.15.

8. Which of the following is called for the curves following isothermal adsorbtion?
a) Adsorbtion isotherm
b) Adsorbate isotherm
c) Adsorbent isotherm
d) Absorbent isotherm
View answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The curves for isothermal adsorbtion are called adsorbtion isotherms.

9. Which of the following is the property of adsorbtion isotherm?
a) Linear
b) Decreasing
c) Monotonous
d) None of the mentioned
View answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Since the adsorbtion isotherms are always increasing they are monotonous.

10. Which of the following satisfies the first derivative of adsorbtion isotherms?
a) Greater than 1
b) Less than 1
c) Equal to 1
d) Cannot say
View answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Since adsorbtion isotherms are always increasing, so their first derivative are always increasing.
