A feed stream containing 2.00 mol/min of butane (C4H%), and a feed stream containing 130.0 mol/min of air are fed into a reactor. The butane reacts completely according to the following reaction 2C,H10+130, 8C0, + 10H,0 Assume that the air is 21.0 mol% O2 and 79.0 mol% N2 2.00 mol C4H1o/min Reactor mol CO2/min q2 mol H2O/min q3 mol N2/min q4 mol O2/min 130.0 mol airimin Set up the equations needed to perform a molar balance for each atomic species present. In the answer blanks to the left of the equal sign, enter in the molar flow rate of the given atomic species into the reactor. In the answer blanks to the right of the equal sign, write an expression for the molar flow rate of each atomic species out of the reactor in terms of qt, q2, q3, and q4 Number mol C/min Number 20 mol H/min =

Explanation / Answer

Air contains 21 %   O2   and 79% N2 so accordingly we check Limiting reagent.

The flow rate are as follows

q1 for CO2 =    8 mol of CO2 /min

q2 for H2O   = 10 Moles of H2O /min

q3 for N2    = 130 x79/100 moles/min = 102.7 mol/min

q4   for O2   = 130x21/100 moles/min = 27.3 moles/min
