How can I test if the mixture I have contains ethanol or isopropyl? Will a simple "salting out expuriment" work (adding salt and seeing whether the mixture separated or not)? Or is there a better way to check?

Suppose there's some slow burning pyrotechnic mixture like KNO##_3## with powdered charcoal, and several really thin threads/wires of magnesium metal (or zirconium or magnesium/aluminum alloy) are made go through a pile of that mixture. Now I would guess that because a mixture of finely powdered...

The vapour density of N204 at certain temperature is 30. Calculate the percentage of dissociation of N204 at this temperature. N2O4(g)⇌2NO2(g)? I am unable to understand the concept behind vapour density of the mixture. Currently, I understand that 2 x vapour density=molar mass. Vapour density =...

My wife is wanting to place an empty alcohol bottle filled with Dawn in the toilet tank. Have a 1//16 hole drilled 3 inches from the bottom so the fluid will come out when flushed and the water level gets lower than the hole. The Dawn will stop coming out once the water refills above the hole...

Hello, At my work I came up with the following question: Say we have a vacuum chamber. Inside the vacuum chamber we have at the bottom a water bath. The rest of the chamber is filled with a air and water vapor mixture. The whole system is placed in a room, is at room temperature and is in...

Hi. I am well aware that if say, there are two components A and B, the ideal mixing enthalpy between those two components are: (1) hmix = zA hA + zB hB. If I want to get the real behavior of a pure component, I am also aware that; say for example, liquid enthalpy: (2) hL = Href + ∫CpigdT (from...

Hello, I'm in the process of deriving the Wassiljewa mixture model equation for a binary solution. I have to find an expression gE which represents the excess g term which is added to gIS, the ideal solution, to predict the g for a real solution. I have gotten up to a point but now I'm stuck...

Hi, I am designing a mash tun to produce beer. I have 1300kg of malted barley (at a known density) and 3250kg of water. Please could someone outline a method I could use as I am really struggling. One of the main problems I am having is accounting for the density change of the malt when it...

suppose i have liquid and vapor water inside a vessel at say 3000kPa, then i suddenly open the valve, as the water (liquid) flows out the vessel (control volume) is water inside the cv evaporating at the same rate liquid flows out? so the volume of water inside the cv remains constant?

So I know Dalton's law as stated above which I think is applicable in this question. Then I know the effusion rate is ##\frac{1}{4} n \bar{v}##, and from this we can make a differential for the time evolution of the number density of the gas in the container which is: ##\frac{dn}{dt} =...
