In a distillation column, it is known that a 1% increase in the flow of the steam at the bottoms reboiler results in a 3% increase of the overhead pressure at steady-state. calculate the steady-state gain between the steam and the overhead pressure.

From the options provided for each element below, choose the properties that it may have based on its location in the periodic table fluorine (f): highly reactive nonmetal shiny a conductor

)benzene and toluene form nearly ideal solutions. consider an equimolar solution of benzene and toluene. at 20 °c the vapour pressures of pure benzene and toluene are 9.9 kpa and 2.9 kpa, respectively. the solution is boiled by reducing the external pressure below the vapour pressure. calculate (i) the pressure when boiling begins, (ii) the composition of each component in the vapour, and (iii) the vapour pressure when only a few drops of liquid remain. assume that the rate of vaporization is low enough for the temperature to remain constant at 20 °c.

Which of two curves exhibits exponential growth
