https Caliculating the neaction rate of one reactant from that of another The reform reaction between steam and gaseous methane (CH4) produces synthess gas ··mature o, carbon meno de gas and dhydrogen gas Synthes gasone of the most widely used industnal chemicals, and is the mejor industral sort, of hydrogen. Suepose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the relorms restion nds that 303, iters per second of methane are consumed when the reaction ias run at 287 "C and 0.17 a Celculate the rate at which dhydregen s being produced. Give your answer in kolograms per secend. Round your answer to 2 signficant diots seer Review of L-docx ^

Explanation / Answer

H2O + CH4 -----------> CO + 3 H2

Assuming ideal behaviour,

P V = n R T

n = moles methane consuming per second = 0.17 * 303 / ( 0.0821 * 560.15) = 1.12 mol

From the balanced equation,

1 mol of methane produces 3 mol of hydrogen

then,

1.12 mol of methane produces 3 * 1.12 = 3.36 mol of hydrogen.

Mass of hydrogen produced per second = 3.36 * 2.0 = 6.7 g/s = 6.7 * 10-3 g/s
