AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the heat added or removed during the reaction of TiCl4 with O2, where the feed is at 600 degrees and the product reaches 1500 degrees. Participants emphasize the need to determine the enthalpies of the reactants and products using the specific heat capacity (Cp) equation, integrating it for different temperature ranges. The reaction is identified as TiCl4 + O2 → TiO2 + 2 Cl2, and it is noted that enthalpy calculations must also include O2 and Cl2 at their respective temperatures. Clarification is provided on how to approach the integration of the Cp formula for each component involved in the reaction. Accurate calculations of heat transfer are essential for understanding the thermal dynamics of the reactor process.

Homework Statement



If a feed of TiCl4 and O2 at 600 degrees is fed into a reactor and the product is 1500 degrees, how much heat is added or removed?


Homework Equations



Cp = A + BT + C/T^2 + DT^2


The Attempt at a Solution



I managed to find the heat of reaction for the whole process previously as well as the heat of formation for TiCL4 at 1500degrees. I am kind of stuck from here though.

Do i integrate the Cp eqn again with T1 as 1500 and T2 as 600?

Hello Sero,
Apparently you do have a reaction taking place. That's a few equations too. Could you post them ?
And if you want to do something with the Cps: which component has which Cp ?
In ChE there are all kinds of reactors. Any idea what we are looking at here ?
 
The reaction is TiCl4 + O2 --> TiO2 + 2 Cl2

You need to get the enthalpies of the reactants at 600 C and the enthalpies of the products at 1500 C. Do you know how to do that?

Oh ok i get it! so It's just integration of the Cp formula for TiCl4 with T2 at 600 degrees and T1 at standard temp and i do the same for TiO2 except instead of 600 i use 1500 then i find the difference.

Don't forget that you need to do O2 and 2Cl2 also, since, even though their heats of formation at standard temp are zero, you need to consider O2 at 600 and 2Cl2 at 1500.

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
