Consider the microbial conversion of glucose to L-glutamic acid, as shown below. Assume that initially the bioreactor contains 200 kg of glucose, 15 kg of ammonia and 54 kg of O2. C6H1206 + NH3 +1.5 O2 →C5H,NO4+ CO2 + 3H2O glucose ammonia glutamic acid a) If the reaction proceeds to a point where the conversion of the limiting reactant is 33%, how much of each reactant and product is present at the end, and what is the extent of reaction ? Answer: .591 b) If the reaction proceeds to a point where 35 kg of O2 is left, what is the fractional conversion of glucose? What is the fractional conversion of O2? What is the extent of reaction E?

Consider the microbial conversion of glucose to L-glutamic acid, as shown below. Assume that initially the bioreactor contains 200 kg of glucose, 15 kg of ammonia and 54 kg of Ő2. C6H1206 + NH3 +1.5 O2 →C5H,NO4 + CO2 + 3H2O glucose ammonia glutamic acid a) If the reaction proceeds to a point where the conversion of the limiting reactant is 33%, how much of each reactant and product is present at the end, and what is the extent of reaction E ? Answer: .591 b) If the reaction proceeds to a point where 35 kg of O2 is left, what is the fractional conversion of glucose? What is the fractional conversion of O2? What is the extent of reaction ? Answer: =.291 f glucose= .356 F 02= .356
