A reactor uses 2 chemicals A and B to form a desired product C, and
undesired product D.
Assume the outlet stream has a mass flowrate of 100 kg/hr.
Calculate the % conversion of A, the yield of C and the % excess of B.
A+ B 2C
A+2B D
Species Mw
A 24
B 18
C 21
D 60
i) Convert the outlet stream to moles.
ii) Use the extent of reaction method to solve for the inlet molar
flowrates of A and B.
iii) Calculate the % conversion of A
iv) Calculate the % yield of C
v) Calculate the % excess of B
(c)
Calculate the heat of formation for the following balanced equation using the
table provided in the lecture notes.
CH4(g)+2 O2(g)-> CO2(g)+2 H2O (l)
(d)
A reaction at 57C has a rate constant of 0.50s-1 and activation energy of
25kJmol-1. The temperature is increased to 127C and the reaction reset.
What is the new rate constant at this higher temperature? (Assume A
(activation energy) and concentrations are unchanged)
