Amount of component x condensed along with water vapour during reaction
Amount of component x condensed along with water vapour during reaction
(OP)
Hello all,
Need your help please.
I want to calculate amount of component x condensed along with water vapour during reaction. The reactor batch is 10 tonne.
The reaction takes place at 180 degC at which component x is removed and condensed.
Vapour pressure of the component x at 180 degC = 0.001
Vapour pressure of water at 180 degC = 10 bar
Molecular wt of component x = 300 g/mol

I don't think Raoult's law would be applicable here.
Please let me know if my calculation below is correct
Here, X is mass % of component x
((X⁄300))/((((100-X))⁄18) )=0.001/10
((X⁄300))/((((100-X))⁄18) )= 0.0001
x/300=(0.0001*(100-X))/18
18X=0.03*(100-X)
18X=3-0.03X
X=1.66%
Thanks
