Question

In the process, you will feed 535 pounds per hour of fresh Ca(C2H3O2)2 and enough H2SO4 to be in 10.0% excess for converting the fresh Ca(C2H3O2)2. The single pass conversion of Ca(C2H3O2)2 in the reactor is 90.0%. Determine the amount of Ca(C2H3O2)2 recycled and the production rate of C2H4O2 by performing the following steps

To find the production rate of C2H4O2, first calculate the flow rate of fresh Ca(C2H3O2)2 in lb-mol/hr

Acetic acid can be produced through the following balanced reaction. and with the following process. In the process, you will feed 535 pounds per hour of fresh Ca(C2H3O2)2 and

Explanation / Answer

moles of Ca(C2H3O2)2=266939.11g/158.1660 g/mol =1687.71mol

One lb-mol is equal to 453.59237 mol

flow rate of Ca(C2H3O2)2=1687.71molx1 lb-mol /453.59237 mol=3.720lb-mol/hr
