Transcribed Image Text:Ammonia is oxidized with air to form nitric oxide in the first step of the manufacture
of nitric acid. Two principal reactions occur.
4 NH3 + 50₂4 NO + 6H₂O
2 NH3 +0₂ N₂ + 3 H₂O
100 mol NH3(g)/min
25°C, 8 bars
900 mol air/min
0.21 0₂
0.79 N₂
150°C, 8 bars
-
Q (kJ/min)
AĤ-904.7 kJ/mol
AĤº = -633.1 kJ/mol
Product gas: 700°C, 8 bars
90 mol NO/min
150 mol H₂O(g)/min
716 mol N₂/min
69 mol O₂/min
Calculate the heat transferred to or from the reactor, taking atomic species as references
for enthalpy calculations. (See Example 9.5-2.) AH = - 4896.1 kJ/min. 4896.1 kJ/min heat removed
