Estimate the flow rate (kg/min and kmoUmin) of each component and the composition (mole fractions) of the furnace flue gas. (Ignore the fly ash in calculating mole fractions.) At what rate (kg/min) is fly ash removed from the flue gas by the electrostatic precipitator?
Definitions Chemistry- the study of the composition, properties, and interactions of matter; the “central science” Matter- anything that occupies space and has mass Mass- a measure of the amount of matter in an object Weight- the force that gravity exerts on an object Law of conservation of matter- matter is neither created of destroyed; it is only transferred from one type or phase to another. Atom- the smallest particle of an element that has properties of that element; indivisible Molecule- consists of two or more atoms joined by strong forces called chemical bonds Pure substance – homogeneous substance that has a constant composition Elements – substance that is composed of a single type of atom; defined by the number of protons in the atom Compounds – pure
