  1. A) Construct a complete stoichiometric table for the molar flow rate and gas-phase concentrations using the correct limiting reactant
### Gas Phase Reaction

The reaction is as follows:

\[ \frac{1}{2} \text{N}_2 + \frac{3}{2} \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{NH}_3 \]

This reaction is to be carried out isothermally in a flow reactor. The molar feed composition is 50% \(\text{H}_2\) and 50% \(\text{N}_2\). The reaction conditions are set at a pressure of 16.4 atm and a temperature of 227°C.

**C) Suppose by chance, the reaction is elementary with rate constant \( k_{N_2} = \frac{40 \, \text{dm}^3}{\text{mol} \cdot \text{s}} \). Write the rate of reaction solely as a function of conversion for (i) a flow reactor and (ii) a constant volume batch reactor.**

In this problem, you are asked to express the rate of reaction as a function of conversion for two types of reactors: a flow reactor and a constant volume batch reactor. The rate constant \( k_{N_2} \) is given as \( \frac{40 \, \text{dm}^3}{\text{mol} \cdot \text{s}} \), which indicates the reaction follows elementary kinetics.

### Explanation:
- **Flow Reactor:** This typically refers to a plug flow reactor (PFR) or continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR), where concentration continuously changes and is related to conversion \( X \). The design equation for flow reactors often comes in the form of:
  \[
  -r_A = \frac{F_{A0}}{V}X
  \]
  where \( -r_A \) is the rate of reaction, \( F_{A0} \) is the molar flow rate of the reactant \( A \), \( V \) is the reactor volume, and \( X \) is the conversion.

- **Constant Volume Batch Reactor:** In this setup, the volume of the reactor does not change as the reaction progresses. The rate of reaction is related to the change in concentration over time:
  \[
  -r_A = \frac{dC_A}{dt}
  \]
  Given the elementary nature of the reaction, expressions for \( C_A \) can be aligned to conversion \( X \).

Both these scenarios leverage the rate constant to model the system kinetics accurately. Understanding these concepts is crucial for chemical reaction engineering and reactor design.
