Question
Most of the sulfur used in the United States is chemically synthesized from hydrogen sulfide gas recovered from natural gas wells. In the first step of this synthesis, called the Claus process, hydrogen sulfide gas is reacted with dioxygen gas to produce gaseous sulfur dioxide and water. Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the Claus reaction finds that 183. liters per second of dioxygen are consumed when the reaction is run at 204. °C and the dioxygen is supplied at 0.64 atm. Calculate the rate at which sulfur dioxide is being produced. Give your answer in kilograms per second. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

- Problem 2. There has been a lot of recent interest in oxygen-enhanced combustion. In this process, pure oxygen is added to air which is then fed to a furnace along with the fuel. This increases the combustion temperature, thereby reducing the amount of pollutants and increasing the concentration of CO₂ in the flue gas, making it easier to sequester the CO₂. An Orsat analysis of the flue gas from a furnace which burns methane is as follows: 11.1 mol % CO2, 5.5 mol % O2, and 83.4 mol % N₂ (dry basis). The amounts of CO, SO₂, and CH4 in the flue gas are negligible. a.) How many moles of air were fed to the furnace per mole of pure O₂? b.) What was the percent excess oxygen fed to the furnace?arrow_forwardA chemical engineer is studying the following reaction: BF 3(aq)+NH3(aq) → BF ,NH3(aq) At the temperature the engineer picks, the equilibrium constant K for this reaction is 1.3. The engineer charges ("fills") three reaction vessels with boron trifluoride and ammonia, and lets the reaction begin. He then measures the composition of the mixture inside each vessel from time to time. His first set of measurements are shown in the table below. Predict the changes in the compositions the engineer should expect next time he measures the compositions. reaction expected change in concentration compound concentration vessel BE3 I decrease (no change) 0.48 M f increase NH3 I decrease (no change) 0.55 M f increase A BF,NH3 f increase I decrease (no change) 1.01 M 0.41 M f increase I decrease (no change) BF, NH3 I decrease (no change) 0.48 M f increase В BF,NH3 f increase I decrease (no change) 1.08 M BF3 I decrease (no change) 1.07 M ↑ increase NH3 I decrease (no change) 1.14 M f increase C…arrow_forwardCalculate the amount of heat required to pass through each section of the graph.

The acetylene is combusted with 45.00% excess dry air to form CO2 and H2O. Limitations within the reactor only allow 82.00% of the acetylene to react. Both the acetylene and air enter the reactor at 25 °C, and the products leave the reactor at 1027.00 °C. Potentially useful properties are listed in the following table.
