A mixture of methane and air is capable of being ignited only if the mole percent of methane is between 5% and 15%. A mixture co

ntaining 9.0 mole% methane in air flowing at a rate of 700 kg/h is to be diluted with pure air to reduce the methane concentration to the lower flammability limit. Calculate the required flow rate of air in mol/h and the percent by mass of oxygen in the product gas. (Note: Air may be taken to consist of 21 mole% O and 79% N2 and to have an average molecular weight of 29.0.) answer:
(a)n = 20,200 mol air/h; 0.225 kg O2/kg

Answer:

Explanation:

The air 9% mole% methane have an average molecular weight of:

9%×16,04g/mol + 91%×29g/mol = 27,8g/mol

And a flow of 700000g/h÷27,8g/mol = 25180 mol/h

In the reactor where methane solution and air are mixed:

In = Out

Air balance:

91% air×25180 mol/h + 100% air×X = 95%air×(X+25180)

Where X is the flow rate of air in mol/h = <em>20144 mol air/h</em>

<em></em>

The air in the product gas is

95%×(20144 + 25180) mol/h = 43058 mol air× 21%O₂ = 9042 mol O₂ ×32g/mol = <em>289 kg O₂</em>

43058 mol air×29g/mol <em>1249 kg air</em>

Percent of oxygen is: \frac{289kg}{1249 kg} =<em>0,231 kg O₂/ kg air</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

The equations given in the problem introduction can be added together to give the following reaction: overall: N2O4→2NO2 However
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Reverse the 2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2  reaction

Explanation:

Reactions:

2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2

N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2

Overall:

N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2

As can be seen, in the overall reaction we have N_2O_4 in the reactants like in the second reaction and NO_2 in the products. The NO_2 is in the first reaction but as a reactant so we need to reverse that reaction:

2 NO + O_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2

N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2

Combining:

N_2O_4 + 2 NO + O_2\longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2 + 2 NO_2

N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2

A 0.75M solution of CH3OH is prepared in 0.500 kg of water. How many moles of CH3OH are needed?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

We need 0.375 mol of CH3OH to prepare the solution

Explanation:

For the problem they give us the following data:

Solution concentration 0,75 M

Mass of Solvent is 0,5Kg

knowing that the density of water is 1g / mL,  we find the volume of water:

                           d = \frac{g}{mL} \\\\ V= \frac{g}{d}  = \frac{500g}{1 \frac{g}{mL} } = 500mL = 0,5 L

Now, find moles of CH_{3} OH are needed using the molarity equation:

                           M = \frac{ moles }{ V (L)} \\\\\\molesCH_{3}OH  = M . V(L) = 0,75 M . 0,5 L\\\\molesCH_{3}OH = 0,375 mol

therefore the solution is prepared using 0.5 L of H2O and 0.375 moles of CH3OH,  resulting in a concentration of 0,75M
