Oxygen is passed through a bed of carbon in such a way that the gases leaving the carbon are in equilibrium with it at a temperature of 1700 K. This gas is then rapidly cooled to 1130 K, when it comes in contact with a catalyst capable of bringing the gas to the equilibrium composition. p t = 1 atm throughout. Calculate the po 2 in the gas at 1700 and 1130 K. 15 Data (assorted) i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) viii) ix) x) - 4 - a) the adiabatic flame temperature b) the po 2 in the resulting combustion gas. 15 3. A gas composed of 97% air, 3% Cl 2 (p t = 1 atm) is used to oxidize NiCl 2 at 1000 K. Calculate the conversion efficiency for the process. 15 4. A vaporization experiment involving metallic thulium (T m ) is conducted at two temperatures. The experiment consists of passing argon gas slowly across a container of T m , such that equilibrium between the liquid metal and gas phase is attained. The experiment is conducted at 2200 K and 200 o K. 1 mole of argon gas is used at each temperature. p t in the system is 2 atm. At 2200 K, 141 gm of T m evaporate. At 2000 K, 32 gm evaporate. Use this data to calculate the heat of vaporization of T m near 2100 K, and calculate the normal boiling point of T m . (If required, atomic wt of T m = 169 and atomic wt of Ar = 36) 15 5.
