A reactor is supplied with 45 moles of C, and it undergoes following reactions C + 0.5O2 -> CO and C + O2 -> CO2, if 25 moles of CO2 was produced and 6 moles of C remains unreacted, what are the number of moles of CO produced?(a) 6(b) 9(c) 14(d) 17The question was asked during an internship interview.My question is based upon Processes Involving Multiple Units topic in division The Chemical Reaction Equation & Stoichometry, Material Balances for Processes Involving Reaction and Multiple Units of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer»

Right option is (c) 14

Easy explanation: Extent of second REACTION = (25 – 0)/1 = 25, => moles of C reacted in second reaction = 25*1 = 25, => moles of C reacted in first reaction = 45 – 25 – 6 = 14, => extent of first reaction = (0 – 14)/(-1) = 14, => moles of CO produced = 14*1 = 14.
