Background Chiquita Brands International is one of the world’s largest banana producers that were founded in 1899. Founded as United Fruit Company‚ Chiquita has grown to be one of the top three companies in the banana business with a combined control of 60% market share. Chiquita had annual revenues of $4.7 billion and operating plants worldwide with its main business coming out of Colombia. In this case study‚ it tells the story of the Chiquita business and how they faced many problems in the past

All about Distillation Distillation is a process that is used to purify a lot of substances on a domestic as well as commercial basis. It is very interesting to know about the process in detail as it is a natural process. The story begins when a liquid or solid state of mater responds to the heat in environment. The heat makes the liquid state or solid state of matter to convert into gas state. Liquid Gas (Vaporization) Solids

How I wish I was being devoured down there with them. At the very least‚ it’d be less torturous than suffering through Gala the Apple’s self-assured soliloquy of his health benefits for the fifth day in a row. “Have I mentioned‚” he boasts to the bananas‚ “how healthy I am? The lady was just telling her children the other day that I keep away doctors! It’s true! And did you know‚” he puffs out his chest pridefully‚ “that when I ripen‚ I’ll be the sweetest fruit of

Questions: 1. One mole of a compound A‚ with vapor pressure 400mmHg at 50oC‚ mixed with 3 moles of compound B‚ with vapor pressure 480mmHg at 50oC to form a homogeneous solution. What is the vapor pressure of mixture at 50oC? XA =moles of A\total No. of moles XA =1\4 XB=3\4 Ptotal=PAoXA+PBoXB =400*1\4 + 480*3\4 = 460mmHg 2. Why should a distilling flask be filled not less than 1\3 filled or more than 2\3 full? This is to allow the liquid being heated room to expand as it turns

FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION *Ibale‚ I.‚ Ibanez‚ E.‚ Jao‚ E.‚ Joson‚ E.‚ Juanico‚ R. 2D Pharmacy‚ Faculty of Pharmacy‚ University of Santo Tomas Abstract Distillation is a commonly used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. The product obtained by distillation is called the distillate. Volatility is the property of changing readily from a solid or liquid to a vapor. There are two types of distillation‚ simple

FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION October 29‚ 2012 CHEM 210 ME01 INTRODUCTION The process of separating the components of a mixture by distillation into relatively pure fractions is referred to as fractional distillation. Simple distillation‚ a process with similar goals‚ is noted for being a satisfactory attempt at separating two components in an ideal mixture‚ but not as accurate as fractional distillation. To explore these statements further‚ there needs to be an in depth look at the theory that

Cubism What is Cubism? Cubism is a revolution in the artist’s approach to space‚ both in the flat surface of the picture and in sculpture. In this essay the things that will be discussed are two different styles of Cubism‚ which are Analytic and Synthetic Cubism. Also the artists who invented Cubism and those artists are Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Analytic Cubism fragmented objects into abstract geometric forms. Good examples of Analytic Cubism are Braque’s‚ Violin and Picher and Picasso’s

f Fractional Distillation of a Solution Results 1. On a single graph‚ plot boiling point versus volume of distillate curves for the two distillations of the cyclohexane/toluene solutions (one from the simple distillation experiment and one from the fractional distillation experiment). The graph is to be computer generated and presentation quality (e.g.‚ appropriately scaled and labeled axes‚ descriptive title‚ and discernable data points). The data points are to be connected with a smooth

How Do Synthetic Drugs Affect China? Synthetic drugs are prevalent across China‚ affecting the country in countless ways. Drugs are created for medical uses to treat injuries or illnesses‚ however others are exploited due to the body’s reaction towards the drug such as narcotics. A simple definition of synthetic refers to “ manmade” (Van).The primary purpose of synthetic drugs is for medical or pharmaceutical uses. This means that it is intended to aid people who are recovering from ailments. For

I. Introduction Fractional distillation is the separation of a mixture into its fractional parts that entails many concurrent vaporization-condensation cycles. This works because of different boiling points of individual substances. The temperature of the fractional distillation column decreases as its length increases. A higher boiling point component condenses on the column and returns to the solution whereas the lower boiling point component passes through the column and is collected in a receiver
