The following chemical reaction takes place in a bio reactor: 3A+2B_2 ->2AB+AB_2

Question

The following chemical reaction takes place in a bio reactor:

3A+2B_2 ->2AB+AB_2

The molecular weight of A is 10.0g/mol and that of B is 15 g/mol

a)Based on work from your friend, you assume that the fractional conversion of A is 0.50. Calculate the outlet molar flow rate of A

b)Calculate the reaction rate, R_1 for the reaction

c)You also know that A and B_2 are fed to the reactor in stoichiometric amounts; therefore you assume that the fractional conversion of B_2 is also 0.50. Given this information, determine the inlet and outlet molar flow rates of B_2

d)Calculate the outlet flow rates of the two products, AB and AB_2

Please show your work.

Explanation / Answer

3A + 2B2 -> 2AB + AB2

The molecular weight of A is 10.0g/mol

The molecular weight of B is 15 g/mol

fractional conversion of A is 0.50
