Question 13.6. The CO/H2 gas mixture is fed to a reactor at a ratio of ¹1/2 and heated under pressure to 650 K in the presence of a suitable catalyst. In order for this industrial reaction to be economically feasible, the equilibrium conversion value must be at least 30%. It can be assumed that the gas mixture exhibits ideal gas behavior in equilibrium.

Transcribed Image Text:Question 13.6. The CO/H2 gas mixture is fed to a reactor at a ratio of ¹1/2 and
heated under pressure to 650 K in the presence of a suitable catalyst. In order
for this industrial reaction to be economically feasible, the equilibrium
conversion value must be at least 30%. It can be assumed that the gas mixture
exhibits ideal gas behavior in equilibrium.
