CHEMICAL MATERIAL BALANCE – EXAMPLE 2.2 : Three hundred gallons of a mixture containing 75.0 wt % ethanol and 25 wt % water (mixture specific gravity = 0.877) and a quantity of a 40.0 wt % ethanol - 60 wt % water mixture (specific gravity = 0.952) are blended to produce a mixture containing 60.0 wt % ethanol. The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of density of a substance compared to the density of water. The symbol of weight percent is wt %. (a) Estimate the specific gravity of the 60 % mixture by assuming that y = mx c where y is wt % ethanol, x is mixture specific gravity. Values for m and c are constants. (b) Determine the required volume of the 40 % mixture.

Answer / kangchuentat

CHEMICAL MATERIAL BALANCE – ANSWER 2.2 : (a) Let X = specific gravity of the 60 % mixture. By interpolation for a straight line with constant m as gradient, then (75 - 40) / (0.877 - 0.952) = (60 - 40) / (X - 0.952). Then 35 / (-0.075) = -466.67 = 20 / (X - 0.952). X = -0.0429 + 0.952 = 0.9091. (b) Let V = the required volume of the 40 % mixture. Mass of ethanol in 75 % mixture + Mass of ethanol in 40 % mixture = Mass of ethanol in 60 % mixture. Then, 300 (0.877) (0.75) + V (0.952) (0.4) = (V + 300) (0.9091) (0.6). Then 197.325 + 0.3808 V = 0.5455 V + 163.638. V = 204.53 gallons.

Question 89 - A hemocytometer is a device that is used for counting cells. In an engineering experiment, 100 microlitres of cell suspension is diluted with 50 microlitres of Trypan blue dye. Only death cells appear blue in color when stained with the dye. There are 57 cells detected in a hemocytometer, where 5.3 % of them appear blue when the chamber of the meter is placed under a microscope. Each square of a chamber can contain 0.0001 mL of liquid. (a) Calculate the number of viable cells. (b) The cells ocupied 5 squares. Calculate the average number of viable cells / square. (c) Calculate the dilution factor of the cell suspension by using the formula : Dilution = final volume / initial volume. (d) Calculate the concentration of viable cells / mL by using the formula : Concentration = (Average number of viable cells / square) x dilution x (square / volume).
