a) K and X relation
b) K and Bubble relation
c) Components and K values relation
d) Nc Relation
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: At the bubble point, the following relationship holds always, representing Nc as number of components and yi as the mole fraction of all components.
3 - Question
The K in the below equation holds for
a) Distribution Factor
b) Henry Factor
c) Vapor Factor
d) Dew factor
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: K is the distribution coefficient, defined as the ratio of mole fraction in the vapor phase, these are not always equal but are somehow equivalent to each other.
4 - Question
When Raoult’s law and Dalton’s law hold for the mixture, the K factor is
a) Pi/P
b) Yi/Xi
c) Y*/X
d) X*/X
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: When Raoult’s law and Dalton’s law hold for the mixture, the K factor is Pi/P, indicating Pi as the partial pressure of system and P as total pressure.
