Hydrogen can be obtained from methane by the steam methane reforming reaction: CH4 + H,O CO + 3H2 A gas mixture containing 53 mole % methane and 47 mole % water is fed into a reactor. (a) Determine which component in the gas mixture is the limiting reactant. Select a basis of 100 moles of gas in the feed stream. (b) Determine the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess. (c) Determine the amount of each gas exiting the reactor, if the conversion of the limiting reactant is 25 %.
