Methane and oxygen react in the presence of a catalyst to form formaldehyde. In a parallel reaction,
methane is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.
CH4(g)+O2(g)HCHO(g)+H2O(g)
CH4(g)+2O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(g)
Methane is fed with 40% excess air at 50C and 40% relative humidity. If the mole fraction of CO2 in
the effluent gases is 0.025 mol CO2/mol gas, and there is no remaining CH4, determine the composition
of the reaction product.
