3. (30 minutes; 25 Points; Phase Transfer)

An industrial wastewater is discharged for further processing to closed storage tank that has
a total volume of 600 m3. The volume of the wastewater is 200 m3, and the air volume is 400
m3. An employee of the industry accidentally dumps 500 liters of liquid chlorobenzene (C6H5Cl,
MW = 112.5 g/mole, density = 1.107 kg/L, PV =15.6×10-3 atm, KH = 3.7×10-3 atm.m3/mole, Cs=
472 mg/L) into the same storage tank. Estimate the following under equilibrium conditions
and at 25 ºC assuming complete mixing:

a) volume of chlorobenzene that will dissolve in water (8 Points),

b) volume of chlorobenzene that will volatilize (8 Points),

c) volume of chlorobenzene that will be left in the tank as a separate phase, if any (9
Points).
