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

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

Oxytocin is recommended only for pregnancies that have a medical reason for inducing labor (such as eclampsia) and is not recommended for elective procedures or for making the birthing process more convenient.

Adults are resistant to the bacterium that causes Botulism. These bacteria thrive in honey – therefore, honey should never be given to infants since their immune systems are not yet resistant.
