2. Consider the ammonia decomposition reaction being carried out at 400C and 101.3 MPa. 2 NH3 N2 + 3 H2 The feed stream is 2/3 NH3 and 1/3 inerts. a) Calculate the composition of the exit gases, and conversion of NH3, assuming equilibrium is achieved in the reactor. Make sure that you take deviations from the ideal gas law into account. The equilibrium constant relative to standard states at 1 atm may be assumed to be equal to 1.31x10+ atm at 400 C (for the stoichiometry as written). The fugacity of pure H2 at 400 C and 101.3 MPa may assumed to be equal to 136.8 MPa. Explain why this is given. b) If we remove the inerts, how will that affect the equilibrium NH3 conversion? What if we double the inerts (1/3 NH3 2/3 inerts)? Comment on the conversion in each case
