hi, please use the reaction to solve (N2+3H2- >2NH3) also use the 25% single pass info. splitting point composition remains the same. Please write it

hi, please use the reaction to solve (N2+3H2-

>2NH3) also use the 25% single pass info. splitting point composition remains the same. Please write it all out on paper with every step. I'm confused and need a full understanding dont type it out please. Thank you.

2. The fresh feed to an ammonia production process contains 24.75 mole % nitrogen, 74.25 mole % hydrogen, and the balance inerts (I). The fresh feed is combined with a recycle stream containing the same species, and the combined stream is fed to a reactor in which a 25% singlepass conversion of nitrogen is achieved. The products pass through a condenser in which essentially all of the ammonia is removed, and the remaining gases are recycled. However, to prevent buildup of inerts in the system, a purge stream must be taken off. The recycle stream contains 12.5 mole % inerts. Using the diagram below, calculate: (i) the overall conversion of nitrogen, (ii) the ratio of moles of purge gas per mole of fresh feed, and (iii) the ratio of moles of feed to the reactor per mole of fresh feed. Answers: (i) 92.9% (ii) 0.08 ; (iii) 4.07
