Question
Transcribed Image Text:Sodium hypochlorite is formed according to the reaction
2NAOH + Cl, -→ NaOCI + NaCI + H,0
in a continuous reactor by bubbling Cl, through a concentrated 40% (mass)
NaOH solution. Suppose the solution of NaOH in H,O is fed at 1000 kg/h
and the Cla gas, at 10 kgmol/h.
(a) Calculate the degree of freedom assuming the conversion is specified.
(b) Determine which is the limiting reactant.
(c) Calculate the outlet composition of the reactor assuming 100% con-
version of the limiting reactant.
(d) Calculate the outlet composition of the reactor assuming 60% conver-
sion of the limiting reactant.

- 13. A 3.05 g sample of ammonium nitrate is introduced into an evacuated 2.18 L flask with a fixed volume and then heated to 250.0 °C. What is the total pressure in the flask at 250.0 °C after the ammonium nitrate has completely decomposed according to the reaction below? NHẠNO3(s) → N¿0(g) + 2 H20(g)arrow_forwardAcetylene (C2H2) may be formed from methane (CH4) by pyrolyzing-decomposing at high temperature according to the reaction: 2CH4 (g) → C2H2 (g) + 3H2 (g) In a commercial reactor system, the methane is supplied as a liquid at 25°C to a heater where it is heated and vapourised leaving as a vapour at 650°C. The vapour then passes to the catalytic reactor in which a conversion of 40% is achieved. It may be assumed that there are no other reactions, that operation is at a pressure of one atmosphere and that the stream leaving the reactor is all in the vapour state. With a complete block diagram of the process, determine the heat transfer rate (kW) required to the reactor if it is operated isothermally. Evaluate on the value of the heat transfer rate obtained from your calculation.
