Question

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 1
Common salt and CACO; react according to the following flowchart to produce CaCl2. The
conversion of CaCO; in the reactor is 76%, based on the input to the reactor. All the unreacted
CACO; is recycled back to the reactor. Calculate
a) The kg of CaCl2 produced per 1000 kg of feed.
b) The molar composition of the exit stream
c) The kg of CaCO; recycled per 1000 kg of feed
Note:
• Na2CO3 is not reacting.
• Write the stoichiometry equation
• The percent composition of the feed is mass percent (convert from mass fraction to mole
fraction)
• Start with the overall process and write atomic species balance for Ca, C, and Na (you
should now be able to solve for the three unknown flowrates in the overall process).
Continue with writing an equation that describes the conversion of CaCO3 in the reactor.
• No reaction occurs in the separator and the mixing point (meaning input-output)

- The formation of NO from Na and O is to be carried out in a small batch reactor. As a first approximation, we shall consider that the reaction time is more rapid than the time of cylinder compression, consequently, the reaction takes place isothermally in car eylinder at 2700 K, in a constant volume reactor (cylinder) and under a pressure of 20 atm, the initial concentration of N2 is 0.0696 mol/liter. By a specifying constant volume, we are assuming that reaction take place rapidly with respect to the movement of the piston in the cylinder. Consider that the feed consists of 77% N2, 15% Oz and 8% other gases, which may be considered inert. At this temperature the equilibrium constant (Ke-0.01).
