Chapter 14, Problem 14.15P

The gas stream from a sulfur burner is composed of 15-mol-% SO₂, 20-mol-% O₂, and 65-mol-% N₂. This gas stream at 1 bar and 480°C enters a catalytic converter, where the SO₂? is further oxidized to SO₃. Assuming that the reaction reaches equilibrium, how much heat must be removed from the converter to maintain isothermal conditions? Base your answer on 1 mol of entering gas.
