In the hydrodealkylation of toluene to benzene, the following reactions occur:<br>C<sub>7</sub>H<sub>8</sub> + H<sub>2</sub> → C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>6</sub> + CH<sub>4</sub><br>2C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>6</sub> ⇋ C<sub>12</sub>H<sub>10</sub> + H<sub>2</sub><br>Toluene and hydrogen are fed to a reactor in a molar ratio 1 : 5.80% of the toluene gets converted and the selectivity of benzene (defined as moles of benzene formed/moles of toluene converted) is 90%. The fractional conversion of hydrogen is

The fresh feed to an ammonia synthesis reactor contains nitrogen, hydrogen and 2.0 mole per cent inerts. The molar ratio of H2:N2 is 3:1. The product stream consists of pure ammonia. Since conversion in the reactor is only 15%, a recycle stream is used and in order to avoid build-up of inerts, a purge stream is withdrawn. The rate of purge stream is adjusted to keep inert concentration in the recycle stream at 8 mole per cent. For a fresh feed rate of 100 moles/hr. Note that recycle stream contains only nitrogen, hydrogen and inerts. The N2:H2 ratio of 1:3 is maintained in every process stream, and calculate the number of moles, moles of inerts and moles of hydrogen in the recycle stream?

The vapor pressures of benzene and toluene are 3 and $$\frac{4}{3}$$ atmospheres respectively. A liquid feed of 0.4 moles of benzene and 0.6 moles of toluene is vapourised. Assuming that the products are in equilibrium, the vapor phase mole fraction of benzene is

A Composition of carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen with mole ratio 1:2:5 with 4 moles of oxygen, enters a reactor with a flow rate of 100 kg/s, the ratio of rates of leaving the reactor of the three is 5:2:1, and 5 moles of nitrogen leaves the reactor, what is the total number of moles leaving the reactor?

The reaction between ethylene and hydrogen bromide to form ethyl bromide is carried out in a continuous reactor. C2H4 + HBr = C2H5Br The product stream is analyzed and found to contain 51.7 mole% C2H5Br and 17.3% HBr. The feed to the reactor contains only ethylene and hydrogen bromide. Calculate the fractional conversion of the limiting reactant and the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess. If the molar flow rate of the feed stream is 165 mol/s, what is the extent of reaction?

A reactor is supplied with 5 moles each of CH3OH and O2, and the following reactions occur, CH3OH + 1/2O2 -> CH2O + H2O and then CH2O + 1/2O2 -> CO + H2O, the conversion of methanol is 80% in first reaction, and conversion of CH2O is 50% in second reaction. How many moles of CH2O came out of the reactor?

Compound A is extracted from a solution of A + B into a pure solvent S. A Co-current unit is used for the liquid-liquid extraction. The inlet rate of the solution containing A is 200 moles of B/hr.m2 and the solvent flow, rate is 400 moles of S/m2.hr. The equilibrium data is represented by Y = 3X2, where Y is in moles of a A/moles of B and X is in moles A/moles of S. The maximum percentage extraction achieved in the unit is

A reactor is supplied with 5 moles of C4H10, and it undergoes following reactions C4H10 + 4H2O -> 4CO + 9H2 and C4H10 + 6.5O2 -> 4CO2 + 5H2O, if 8 moles of CO2 was produced and 2 moles of C4H10 remains unreacted, what are the number of moles of water produced?
