Formaldehyde (HCHO) is produced by partial oxidation of methanol (CH 3 OH). Several side reactions also occur, producing formic acid (HCOOH), CO, CO 2, and H 2 O. Suppose 100 kgmol/h methanol and 21.05 kgmol/h O 2 are fed to a reactor, where 40% of the methanol and 95% of the O 2 is converted to products. What must the reactor out let composition be?
