could you please help me with those questions?

1) Separation Techniques: Molecular and Transport Properties \& Factors for Feasible Separations For each of the following systems suggest two (different) viable separation techniques. Clearly state the general separation technique and provide an explanation for why each may be feasible. Hint: Approaches to the problem - One separation method is likely to be easily found (the industrial approach) while a second may be discovered as a laboratory scale method. Alternatively examining the molecular, thermodynamic and selected transport properties (requires considering additional materials, e.g. solvents, filters/membranes, adsorbents, etc.) and determining feasible separation approaches. a) Ethylene Glycol - Furfural b) Butanol - Hexane c) Neon - Argon d) Radium - Thorium NOTE: Your discussion (solution) to this problem must be legible (a typed solution is not required), concise and clearly written. Critical thinking is useful and if research is done (strongly suggested) you should provide your references. 2) Read all of Chapter 2 - Review of Thermodynamics a) Summarize a list of topics presented in the chapter, i.e. title of topic ( 1st Law, 2nd Law, etc) b) Indicate for each topic in (a) your level of understanding (excellent, good, okay, poor, no knowledge) c) Provide one topic or question regarding the information in the Thermodynamics review 3) Read relevant parts of Chapter 3 - Review of Mass Transfer / Transport a) Summarize a list of topics presented in the chapter, i.e. title of topic (Fick's Law, etc) b) Indicate for each topic in (a) your level of understanding (excellent, good, okay, poor, no knowledge) c) Provide one topic or question regarding the information in the Transport review 4) Absorption: Acetone-Oil Absorption By means of a plate column, acetone is absorbed from a gas mixture using a non-volatile absorption oil. The entering gas contains 30 mole percent acetone, and the entering oil is acetone-free. Of the acetone in the air, 97.0 percent is to be absorbed, and the concentration of the liquor at the bottom of the tower is to contain 10.0 mole percent acetone. The equilibrium relationship is yc=1.90xe. a) Plot the operating line and determine the minimum number of stages. Hint: Choose 100 moles/hr of entering gas as a basis. b) If 100moles/hr of entering gas is to be treated what is the minimum amount of oil that must be used? Hint: This will be the condition in which an infinite number of stages are needed, e.g. the material balance (operating line) intersects the equilibrium line at the outlet design condition
