A reactor supplied with CO2 and H2O, the product contains 40% CO2, 30% H2O and 30% H2CO3, what is the ratio of feed rate of CO2 and rate of products?(a) 0.3(b) 0.4(c) 0.7(d) 0.9I had been asked this question in quiz.I want to ask this question from Element Material Balances in chapter The Chemical Reaction Equation & Stoichometry, Material Balances for Processes Involving Reaction and Multiple Units of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (c) 0.7

Explanation: The REACTION is CO2 + H2O -> H2CO3. LET the rate of CO2, H2O and H2CO3 be F, W and P RESPECTIVELY. Element balances, C: F(1) = 0.4P(1) + 0.3P(1), => F/P = 0.7.
