26 5.27a) Since the vat contains ethanol guess that Imbibit fell-dead drunk- into the vat. This would decrease the volume available for fluid. Let's see if this could account for the decrease in conversion of googliox. Secondly, ethanol is in very large excess we can reasonably assume pseudo first order kinetics with respect to googliox (A). So for mixed flow Eq13 gives, for before & after = = 1-0.8 0.8 =4 = XAZ = 1-0.75 0.75 3 Since = T2/T, we have = 100 (3/4)=75 Imp gal So the decrease in volume is AV = 100-75 = 25 gal or (25 Imp. gol) Imp.gal 1ft3 62.4 # H2O ) = 4.01 Let US see if this is volume. with his being volume is = These volumes agree so Imbibit could well be in the vat. This hypothesis, or guess does fit the facts b) Why did Watson never come up with this explanation? Because smoking near 99% alcohol was not really cool. Note Watson was not knowledgeable on pickling. You use for pickling in brine, not alcohol of course everyone knows that 1 Imp. gal is the volume of 10 # H2O, and that 1 stone weighs 14 #.
