Question

Suppose a chlor-alkali plant has 250 cells, through each of which a current of 100,000A passes continuously (a) Calculate the mass of chlorine that this plant can produce per 24-hours day (b) If the cell voltage is 3.5v, calculate the total electrical energy consumed by the plant in one 24-hour day, and express it, both in Joules and in kilowatt hour, calculate the cost for the needed electricity needed to run the plant for one 24 hour day (c) If electricity costs No.05 per kilowatt-hour, calculate the cost for the needed electricity needed to run the plant for one 24-hour day. d Describe with a good flow diagram the unit operation and chemical conversion in contact process for making sulfuric acid. e. Propose several ways in which prediction from Le chatelier's principle could be used to improve the yield of so from SO and air. 3(g) f. State five uses of sulfuric acid g. The world production of pure H2so4 in 1991 was 551 x 1010kg. Suppose that all locations converted sulfur to H2SO4 at 99.97% efficiency. What then, was the total mass of emitted sulfur dioxide (in kg) 2a. With the aid of flow diagram describe the unit operations and chemical conversion in wet-acid process of producing phosphoric acid. b. Suppose a fertilizer plant produces phosphoric acid through the wet acid and used it to make triple super phosphate fertilizer Write a balanced equation for the overall reaction. How many moles of gypsu are generated per moles of Ca(HzPO4)2 H20 c. Calculate the volume of steam produced when a 4.0kg brick made from pure is completely dehydrated at 6000c and a pressure of 1.0 atm. Eqn. of reaction is 3Alsio205(OH)4 A16 Si2013 4SiO2 20(g)
