Question
Which way should water flow through a condenser?
Select one:
a. From the bottom up to fill the condenser.
b. From the top to the bottom like a water fall.

Select one:
a. 600
b. 329
c. 730
d. 29
e. 219
f. 540
g. 416
The Boiling Point Diagram of Methanol-Water (Figure 5.6) shows Mole Fraction of Water versus Temperature, °C. Using the following atomic weights and the density of methanol of 0.792 g/ml, a 94.3 % v/v methanol in water solution (94.3 ml methanol and 5.7 ml water) is what mole fraction of water? Round to 2 decimal points with no units. Remember that the density of water is defined in the metric system as 1. (C = 12, H = 1, N = 14, O = 16)
Explanation / Answer
Q 1.
From bottom to fill up the condenser.
Hence option (a) is correct
Explaination.
Water should always enter from the bottom of a condenser and exit from the top of the condenser,because it ensures that condenser will be full of cooling water. But if we set it up the opposite way, and if for some reason the rate of water flow into the condenser decreased and became slower than the rate of water exiting the condenser, then the condenser will not remain filled with water.
