A reactor is supplied with 10 mole of Hexane and some hydrogen to produce 20% methane, 30% propane and 50% butane, what is the rate of products?(a) 10 mole(b) 16.6 mole(c) 26.6 mole(d) 40 moleThe question was posed to me in an interview for job.The question is from Element Material Balances topic in section The Chemical Reaction Equation & Stoichometry, Material Balances for Processes Involving Reaction and Multiple Units of Basic Chemical Engineering |

Answer» CORRECT answer is (c) 26.6 mole Easiest explanation: The reaction is 2C6H14 + 2H2 -> CH4 + 2C3H8 + C5H12, LET the rate of products be P. Element BALANCE, C: 2*10(6) = 0.2P(1) + 2*0.3P(3) + 0.5P(5), => 120 = 4.5P, => P = 26.6 mole. |
