Frank D. Drake, an investigator in the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) program, once said that the large radio
telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, can detect a signal which lays down only a picowatt of power over entire surface of the Earth. What is the power received by the radio telescope if the diameter of the antenna is300 m? What would be the power of the source at the center of our galaxy which couldprovide such a signal? The center of galaxy is 22000 light years away. Assume that source is radiating uniformly in all directions and that the Earth is a disk with the radiusof 6378 km.

The composition of gas in the feed, the percentage conversion and the
theoretical yield are combined to give the product stream composition.
Response:
The composition of gas in the product stream are;
- HCl: 0.4 kmol/h, Cl₂: 1.6 kmol/h, H₂O: 1.6 kmol/h, O₂: 0.5 kmol/h
The amount of oxygen used = 30% exceeding the theoretical amount
Number of moles of hydrochloric acid = 4 kmol/h
Percentage conversion = 80%
Required:
The composition of the gas in the product feed.
Solution;
The given reaction is; 4HCl + O₂ 2Cl₂ + 2H₂O
Which gives;
Moles of limiting reactant reacted = 4 kmol/h × 0.80 = 3.6 kmol/h
Which gives;
Number of moles of HCl in the stream = 4 kmol/h - 3.6 kmol/h = 0.4 kmol/h
Number of moles of Cl₂ produced = 2 kmol/h × 0.8 = 1.6 kmol/h
Similarly;
Number of moles of H₂O produced = 2 kmol/h × 0.8 = 1.6 kmol/h
Number of moles of O₂ in the product stream = 30% × 1 kmol/h + 20% × 1 kmol/h = 0.5 kmol/h
The composition of the production stream is therefore;
- <u>HCl: 0.4 kmol/h</u>
- <u>Cl₂: 1.6 kmol/h</u>
- <u>H₂O: 1.6 kmol/h</u>
- <u>O₂: 0.5 kmol/h</u>
