The steam reforming reaction can be described by the following two reactions: CH4 +H2O ↔ CO+3H2 CH4 +2H2O ↔ CO2 +4H2 Assume that both these reactions achieve equilibrium at 600 K. The equilibrium constants at this temperature for the two reactions are 0.41 and 1.09 respectively. Calculate the equilibrium composition if the starting composition is 5 moles of steam and 1 mole of methane at a pressure of 2 atm.

One process for the production of methanol is the catalytic reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The chemical reaction is given by: CO2  3H2  CH3OH  H2O It is desired to produce 1000 mol/hr of methanol. The single pass conversion of the reactor is 10% while the overall conversion is 80% (both in terms of hydrogen). Note, carbon dioxide in the fresh feed is in 20% excess and all of the product (methanol) and the byproduct (water) is...

The major industrial source of hydrogen gas is by the following reaction: CH4(g) + H2O(g) ------> CO(g) + 3 H2(g) Use bond energies to predict deltaH for this reaction. So I used bond energy chart: CH4(g): 4mol C-H= 4*413kJ/mol H2O(g): 2mol H-O = 2*467kJ/mol 3 H2(g): 3mol H-H = 3*432kJ/mol CO(g): 1mol C-O = 1*358kJ/mol And I got the answer as 1290kJ.... but it is wrong because apparently for CO(g) the bond has to be a triple bond...so the energy...

Ammonia is produced by reacting nitrogen and hydrogen. A feed stream consisting of 2.400% argon (by mole) and stoichiometric proportion of the reactants (N2 and H2) is fed into the system at the rate of 100 mol/min. The components enter a reactor, and then all ammonia is separated from the other components and leaves the process. The other components are recycled back to the feed stream, with a portion being purged from the system. The mole percentage of argon in...
