Please answer the question with the steps... Thank you
Formaldehyde (HCHO) can be formed by oxidation
of methane. The oxidation process takes place by
air (71% mole N2, 21 mole % 02) which is provided
25% excess. Methane is provided at the rate of 70
mol/s.
CH4 + 02 ---> HCHO +
H20
CH4 + 2 02 ----> CO2
