Question

An equimolar mixture of nitrogen and acetylene enters a steady-flow reactor at 25°C and atmospheric pressure. The only reaction occurring is:


N2(g) + C2H2 → 2HCN(g)N2(g) + C2H2 → 2HCN(g)

 

The product gases leave the reactor at 600°C and contain 24.2 mol-% HCN. How much heat is supplied to the reactor per mole of product gas? (Use the tables for standard enthalpies and gibbs energies of formation and the heat capacities of gases in the ideal gas state.)
