A mixture of methane and air is capable of being ignited only if the mole percent of methane is between 5% and 15%. A mixture containing 6.00 mole% methane in air flowing at a rate of 1300.0 kg/h is to be diluted with pure air to reduce the methane concentration to the lower flammability limit. Calculate the required flow rate of air in mol/h and the percent by mass of oxygen in the product gas. (Note: Air may be taken to consist of 21.0 mole% O2 and 79.0 mole% N2 and hence to have an average molecular weight of 29.0). Required dilution air: Mass percent O2 in product:

8. 9. butane is consumed, and the product gas contains 9 mol CO2 per mol CO. Calculate the molar flow rate of water in the stack gas. Butane is completely burned in a process fed with 25.0% excess air. Based on 1 mol/h of butane, determine the composition in mole fractions of oxygen in product stream. Methane at a molar flow rate of 55 mol/min is burned with dry air. A partial analysis of the exit gas reveals that the mole fraction of nitrogen is 0.85 on a dry basis, and the molar flow rate of the dry exit gas is 600 mol/min. P
It is desired to determine the molecular weight of an organic compound known to be volatile. For this, a glass balloon with a full volume of 152 mL is weighed and the weighing result is recorded as 215 g. Then, the organic compound that is desired to have some molecular weight in liquid form is added into the balloon and evaporated in a water bath until dryness. After the steam temperature is measured as 90 °C, the balloon is left to cool and the organic compound in the balloon condenses again. The balloon is then weighed again and recorded as 215,367g. Find the molecular weight of this organic compound since the pressure of the environment where the experiment is performed is 700 mmHg.

Methanol (CH3OH) is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the reaction and process given below: CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and 0.400 mol% inerts (I). The reactor effluent passes through a condenser that removes essentially all of the methanol and water formed and none of the reactants or inerts. The unreacted reactants and inerts are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycle. 100 mol/h of feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed to the process) contains 29.5 mol% CO2, 68.0 mol% H2, and 2.50 mol% inerts. The single-pass conversion of hydrogen is 46.71%. What is the recycle-to-fresh feed ratio?
