[Submission due date: May 20, 2020]

(1) Calculate the adiabatic flame temperature of C3H6(g) at 1 atm when burned with 20% excess
air, the reactants enter into the reactor at 25 oC.
C3H6 + 9/2 O2 (g) 3 CO2 + 3H2O

(2) A liquid mixture of 4.0 mol % of n-hexane in n-octane is vaporized. Find

(a) composition of the first vapor formed if total pressure is 2.00 atm and
(b) Plot T-xy diagram and estimate the bubble and dew point temp when n-hexane is 10, 40 and
80 mol%. The Antoine coefficients are as follows:

(3) A tank contains vapor that is 65 mol% benzene, and the balance toluene is in equilibrium with
a liquid mixture, which contains benzene and toluene. The absolute pressure in the container is
150 mmHg. Estimate the composition of liquid and system temperature. You can find the Antoine
coefficients form chemical engineering handbook or appendix section in text book.
