Question:

Formaldehyde CH2O can be produced by the gasphase pyrolysis of methanol CH3OH by the following reaction

CHOH(g)  CHO(g) + H(g)

Assuming the ΔrxnH is independent of temperature, 

a. Compute the equilibrium extent of reaction and compositions of starting with pure methanol at 450°C and 1 bar.

b. Repeat the calculation at 650°C and 1 bar. 

c. Set up the equations to compute the equilibrium extent of reaction and compositions at 650°C starting with a mixture containing 0.5 moles of nitrogen per mole of methanol.
