A reactor is supplied with a 100 mole feed of composition 46% C3H7O4, 44% O2 and 10% N2, if 50% of the limiting reagent is converted into product, what is the extent of reaction?(a) 1(b) 2(c) 3(d) 4I have been asked this question in unit test.The above asked question is from Species Material Balances topic in portion The Chemical Reaction Equation & Stoichometry, Material Balances for Processes Involving Reaction and Multiple Units of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer»

Correct answer is (B) 2

The explanation is: The reaction is 4C3H7O4 + 11O2 -> 12CO2 + 14H2O, => LIMITING reagent is O2, => EXTENT of reaction = (44*0.5 – 44)/(-11) = 2.
