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 number main-group elements'valance electrons can be determined by____ on the periodic table​
Zanzabum
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Valance electrons can be determined by <u>Group</u> on the periodic table​

<h2>Explanation:</h2>
  • Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. We can determine the total number of valence electrons present in an atom by checking at its Group in which it is placed in the periodic table. For example, atoms in Groups 1 the number of valence electron is one and for group 2 the number of valence electrons is 2.
  • The groups have number of valance electrons as follow:

Group 1 - 1 valence electron.

Group 2 - 2 valance electrons.

Group 13 - 3 valence electrons.

Group 14 - 4 valance electrons.

Group 15 - 5 valence electrons.

Group 16 - 6 valence electrons.

Group 17 - 7 valence electrons.

Group 18 - 8 valence electrons.

Result: No of valence electron can be determined by the group no. of the element.
