Chapter 9, Problem 9.38P
Coke can be converted into CO—a fuel gas—in the reaction
A coke that contains 84% carbon by mass and the balance noncombustible ash is fed to a reactor with a stoichiometric amount of CO2. The coke is fed at 77°F, and the CO2enters at 400°F. Heat is transferred to the reactor in the amount of 5859 Btu/Ibmcoke fed. The gaseous products and the solid reactor effluent (the ash and unburned carbon) leave the reactor at 183O°F. The heat capacity of the solid is 0.24Btu/(Ibm·°F).
- Calculate the percentage conversion of the carbon in the coke.

2) Ammonia (NH3) is an important base, particularly in wastewaters. Consider a solution that
contains a total of 10-3 M of ammonia in water.
NH4+ = NH3 + H+
KA=10-9.3
a) Use the equilibrium expression and concept of mass balance to write an expression for
each of the following species: log [NH4*] and log [NH3].
b) Prepare a log C-pH diagram for the solution described above. Label each line on your
graph with the name of the chemical species it represents. [Notes: Your diagram should
contain 4 lines, one for each of the four species in the system. You may draw your
diagram by hand or using Excel or other software.]
c) Use your diagram to find the equilibrium pH of the solution. Use a circle or “X” to mark
your answer point on the diagram.
d) Now consider a new solution made by adding 10-3 M of NH4Cl to water. Write the
charge balance or proton condition for this solution. Use your diagram to determine the
