Question
The industrial production of nitric acid (HNO3) is a multistep process. The first step is the oxidation of ammonia (NH3) over a catalyst with excess oxygen (O2) to produce nitrogen monoxide (NO)gas as shown by the unbalanced equation given here:
?NH3(g)+?O2(g)→?NO(g)+?H2O(g)
A) What volume of O2O2 at 722 mmHg and 25∘C is required to synthesize 11.0 mol of NO?
B) What volume of H2O(g) is produced by the reaction under the same conditions?

- A 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_forwardConsider the chemical reaction: C(s) + H2O(g) ------>CO(g) + H2(g)How many liters of hydrogen gas are formed from the complete reaction of 15.7 g C?

The production plant includes a splitter that separates perfectly ammonia from unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen. The unreacted N2 and H2 are recycled to the reactor with additional fresh feed. The fresh feed contains N2 and H2 in the stoichiometric ratio. The extent of reaction depends on the operating conditions: at 600 K and 300 bar and when the feed to the reactor is 80 moles/hour, the moles of NH3 generated in the reactor per unit of time are 34.50 moles/hour. A schematic of the process is given below. Determine the fluxes and compositions of all streams (Total molar flow rate (mol/h), Molar flow rate H2 (mol/h), Molar flow rate N2 (mol/h), Molar flow rate NH3 (mol/h)).arrow_forward
