Question
The feed to the reactor contains 7.8 mole % C*H_{4} 72.8% N_{2} and 19.4% O_{2} . The gas leaving the reactor contains 8 mole C*O_{2} / m * o * k CO. The percentage conversion of methane is 90%. Calculate the molar composition of the product stream using extent of reaction.
A mixture of C*O_{2}, CO and H_{2}*O is obtained by burning methane in presence of air in a continuous steady state combustion reactor. The reaction take place as follows 2C * H_{4} * (g) + 3O_{2} * (g) 3CH 4 ( underline g )+6O 2 ( underline g ) Rightarrow2CO(g)+4H 2 O longrightarrow3 3CO 2 ( underline g )+6H 2 O
