Which of the following statements is definitely accurate?

The reaction A + B ? C occurs in the vapor phase. It is an endothermic reaction. It is beneficial to carry out the reaction in the presence of liquid water, because C is somewhat soluble in water while A and B are effectively insoluble. The Henry’s Law constant for C in water increases as the temperature increases. We are interested in maximizing the total number of moles of C in the system, regardless of whether the C is in the liquid or vapor phase.
A system initially contains 10 moles each of A and B (vapor) and 100 moles of liquid water. The system is allowed to reach equilibrium at T= 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa. In a separate experiment, the system initially contains 10 moles each of A and B (vapor) and 100 moles of liquid water, and is allowed to reach equilibrium at T= 423.15 K and 0.1 MPa.


A. The system at 298.15 K will have more total moles of C.
B. The system at 423.15 K will have more total moles of C.
C. The system at 298.15 K will have a higher mole fraction of C in the vapor phase and a lower mole fraction of C in the liquid phase than the one at 423.15 K. But it is unclear which will have a larger total number of moles of C.
D. The system at 298.15 K will have a lower mole fraction of C in the vapor phase and a higher mole fraction of C in the liquid phase than the one at 423.15 K. But it is unclear which will have a larger total number of moles of C.
E. None of these is definitely accurate.

The measurements in the table shown in Figure P12–5 were surveyed on a grid for a borrow pit. The first column in the table represents the grid location. “Existing Elevation” is the elevation before excavation, and “Finish Elevation” is the elevation after excavation. The grid spacing is 50?. Grid lines A–F run north and south. Draw the borrow pit grid to scale on an ANSI B size

sheet. Label the grid values and label the cut depths at each grid intersection. Calculate the total amount of excavated material in cubic yards and place the value on the drawing. What will be an ideal response?
