Question

The feed gas to a methanol synthesis reactor is composed of 75 mol% H₂, 12 mol% CO, 8 mol% CO₂, and 5 mol% N₂. The system comes to equilibrium at 550 K and 100 bar with respect to the following reactions:

Assuming ideal gases and the enthalpy of reaction independent of temperatures, calculate equilibrium composition of the mixture.

2H2«g) + CO(g) 2 CH;OHg)
H2(g) + Co2(g)
2 CO(g) (g)
+ H2O
