A mixture of 30  mol % CO, 65 mol % H2, and 5 mol % N2 is fed to a methanol (CH3OH) synthesis reactor, where the following reaction occurs : CO+2H2=CH3OH. The reactor is at 200 degree celsius and 4925 Kpa. The stream leaving the reactor is at equilibrium. If 100 kgmol/h of the feed mixture id fed to the reactor, calculate the flow rates of all species, leaving the reactor
