1. (a) The latent heat of vaporization of ethyl alcohol is experimentally to be 200
cal/gm. at its normal BP of 78 0C. Its critical temperature is 243 oC. Estimate
the heat of vaporization at a temperature of 180 oC.
(b) Define of heat of solution based on one mole of solution and one mole of solute.
Also derive the relationship between them. [6+10]
2. The gas stream from a sulphur burner is composed of 45 mol % SO2, and 55 mol%
O2. This gas stream at 1 bar and 480 oC enters a catalytic converter when SO2
is further oxidized to SO3. Assuming that the reaction reaches equilibrium, deter-
mine how much heat must be removed from the converter to maintain isothermal
conditions per 100 mol of entering gas Cp / R = A + BT +D/T2 [16]

3. (a) Discuss the determination of fugacity from equation of state, with special
reference to Vander waals gas and show that, ln f = ln (RT/(V-b)) + b/(V-b)
? 2a/RTV.
(b) Show mathematically that the entropy change on mixing is not zero even for
ideal gases. [12+4]
4. (a) Elucidate the vapor-liquid equilibrium of binary systems with the help of p-x-y
and t-x-y diagrams.

sition. [12+4]

in detail.
(b) The binary system of benzene (1) / ethyl benzene (2) conforms closely to
Raoult’s law. Vapor pressures for the pure species are given by the following

6. Determine expressions for GR, HR, SR implied by the vander waals equation of
state. [16]
7. Develop equations that apply to the limiting case of binary LLE for which the
α-phase is very dilute in spices 1 and the β-phase is very dilute in species2. [16]
8. A mixture of N2, H2 and Argon in the mole ratio 1:3:2 enters a catalytic reactor
for the synthesis of ammonia. The reactor is maintained at 400oC and 20 Mpa.
Estimate the degree of conversion (K = 1096104). [16
