Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        Mass flow rate of mixture = 1368 kg/hr

      N_{2} in feed = 40 mole%

This means that H_{2} in feed = (100 - 40)% = 60%

We assume that there are 100 total moles/hr of gas (N_{2} + H_{2}) in feed stream.

Hence, calculate the total mass flow rate as follows.

           40 moles/hr of N_{2}/hr (28 g/mol of N_{2}) + 60 moles/hr of H_{2}/hr (2 g/mol of H_{2})

                  40 \times 28 g/hr + 60 \times 2 g/hr    

                  = 1120 g/hr + 120 g/hr

                  = 1240 g/hr

                  = \frac{1240}{1000}              (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

                  = 1.240 kg/hr

Now, we will calculate mol/hr in the actual feed stream as follows.

                 \frac{100 mol/hr}{1.240 kg/hr} \times 1368 kg/hr

                   = 110322.58 moles/hr

It is given that amount of nitrogen present in the feed stream is 40%. Hence, calculate the flow of N_{2} into the reactor as follows.

                       0.4 \times 110322.58 moles/hr

                      = 44129.03 mol/hr

As 1 mole of nitrogen has 28 g/mol of mass or 0.028 kg.

Therefore, calculate the rate flow of N_{2} into the reactor as follows.

                       0.028 kg \times 44129.03 mol/hr

                         = 1235.612 kg/hr

Thus, we can conclude that the the feed rate of pure nitrogen to the mixer is 1235.612 kg/hr.

. Using the pH scale below what would be the pH value of an Acid? *
earnstyle [38]

Answer : The pH value of an acid is below 7.

Explanation :

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion or hydronium ion concentration.

Mathematically,

pH=-\log [H^+]

When the pH less than 7 then the solution is acidic and the concentration of hydrogen ion is greater than hydroxide ion.

When the pH more than 7 then the solution is basic and the concentration of hydrogen ion is less than hydroxide ion.

When the pH is equal to 7 then the solution is neutral and the concentration of hydrogen ion is equal to the hydroxide ion.

Hence, the pH value of an acid is below 7.

Which element in Group 17 is the most active nonmetal? (1) Br (2) I (3) Cl (4) F
Maksim231197 [3]

The element of the group 17 that is most active non metal is fluorine.

The group 17 of the periodic table contains bromine(Br), iodine(I), Chlorine(Cl) and fluorine(F).

Among all the elements of the group 17. Fluorine is the smallest in size.

Because of the small size of fluorine it has the highest electronegativity in group 17.

This high electronegativity makes it a very active non metal. It provides a very high oxidizing power and low dissociation energy to the fluorine atom.

Also because of the very small size the source of attraction between the nucleus and the electrons is very high in floor in atom.

It reacts readily to form oxides and hydroxides.

So, we can conclude here that fluorine is the most active non metal of group 17.

A neutral atom has 8 electrons and 8 neutrons. Which of the following correctly represents the atom? A) carbon-16 B) oxygen-16 C
bija089 [108]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table. This means that oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. In order to get the number of neutrons you take the atomic weight in this case 15.9999~16 and you subtract it by the number of protons (16-8).
