Question: 1 70 points a hot gas stream containing reactant a...

Question details

1. (70 points) A hot gas stream containing reactant A (2 liters per minute, 2 atmospheres, 677 K, with 1/6 A and 5/6 inerts) and a cold gas stream consisting of pure B (0.5 liters per minute, 1.95 atmospheres, 330 K) flow into a 0.75 liter mixed reactor operating at 440 K and 1.3 atmospheres. (a) Assuming that each stream is converted to the conditions of the mixed reactor at the entrance to the reactor, use the ideal gas law to find the flow rate of each stream at a temperature of 440 K and 1.3 atmospheres. Then find the total flow rate of the combined streams and the entering concentrations of A, B, and inerts in moles per liter. R = 0.08206 lit-atm/mol-K. Pu (HINT: 20- constant) (b) Given that A+2B 6R for the gas-phase reaction, what is the limiting reactant and the value for ε for that reactant? (c) Given that-rA =-0.5 rB = kCACB and that the partial pressure of A in the exit stream is 0.02899 atmospheres, what is the conversion of the limiting reactant and the value of the rate constant?
