Determine the standard enthalpy change for the precipitation reaction between aqueous solutions of silver nitrate (AgNO3) and potassium chloride (KCl), given the molar concentrations of AgNO3 and KCl are 0.10 M and 0.20 M, respectively. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) -> AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)The enthalpies of formation for AgNO3(aq), KCl(aq), AgCl(s), and KNO3(aq) are -365.6 kJ/mol, -436.0 kJ/mol, -127.0 kJ/mol, and -494.6 kJ/mol, respectively.

Design a distillation column to separate a mixture of ethanol and water with an initial composition of 40% ethanol and 60% water. The column should achieve a separation of at least 95% ethanol in the distillate product. The available packing materials are Pall rings with a diameter of 1.5 inches and a height of 2 inches. The column inlet flow rate is 1000 kg/hr with a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 80°C. The column should have 25 theoretical plates and operate at reflux ratios ranging from 1.5 to 3.0. Additionally, the column diameter should not exceed 3 feet. Provide the design calculations and specifications for the distillation column.

Design a distillation column to separate a mixture of ethanol and water. The feed stream contains 20 mol% ethanol and the desired distillate should contain at least 95 mol% ethanol. The reflux ratio should be 3:1 and the column should have 25 theoretical trays. Determine the composition of the distillate, bottoms, and the optimal feed tray location to achieve the desired separation. Use McCabe-Thiele method to determine the number of theoretical trays required.
