Draw an ideal distillation curve (temperature vs. milliliters of distillate) for a 50:50 mixture of
  two miscible liquids. How might one achieve such an ideal distillation?
 
 



Question 2

Given a mixture of compounds G and H. At 75C,
  XG = 0.50 XH = 0.50
  PG = 900 mm Hg PH = 400 mm Hg
  (a) Which compound has the lower boiling point?
  (b) What is the partial vapor pressure of G? of H ?
  (c) If the applied pressure is 760 mm, will the mixture boil at 75C?
  (d) What is the composition of the vapor at 75C?

Answer to Question 1

An ideal distillation such as illustrated below is achieved when a fractional distillation is per
formed, using a fractionating column of the proper HETP for the boiling point difference of
the two miscible liquids.




Answer to Question 2

(a) G
(b) G: PG x (0.50) = 450 mm
H: PH x (0.50) = 200 mm
(c) 450 + 200 = 650 mm Hg, which is under 760 mm Hg and therefore it will not boil
(d) G: 450/650 = 69 mol
H: 200/650 = 31 mol

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Ether was used widely for surgeries but became less popular because of its flammability and its tendency to cause vomiting. In England, it was quickly replaced by chloroform, but this agent caused many deaths and lost popularity.

In Eastern Europe and Russia, interferon is administered intranasally in varied doses for the common cold and influenza. It is claimed that this treatment can lower the risk of infection by as much as 60–70%.
