Briefly explain the meaning of the following term forward reaction

1 answer:

8 0

Forward reaction is a reaction in which products are produced from reactants and it goes from left to right in a reversible reaction.

For example, if the focus is on respiration, the forward reaction is written as
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O

If the focus is on photosynthesis, the forward reaction is written as
6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2

2NBr3 + 3NaOH = N2 +3NaBr + 3HOBr

bija089 [108]

The theoretical proportion is given by the balanced chemical equation:

2 mol NBr / 3 mol Na OH

Then x mol NaOH / 40 mol NBr3 = 3mol NaOH/2 mol NBr3

Solve for x, x = 40 * 3/2 = 60 mol NaOH.

Given that there are 48 mol NaOH (less than 60) this is the limitant reactant and the other is the excess reactant.

Answer: NBr3..

It is proposed to use Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) to fuel spark-ignition engines. A typical sample of the fuel on a volume basis

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The overall balanced combustion reaction is written as :

$0.7C_3H_8 \ + \ 0.05C_4H_{10} \ + \ 0.25 C_3H_6 \ + \ x(O_2 \ + \ 3.76N_2) ---> 3.05CO_2 \ + \ 3.8H_2O \ + \ 18.612N_2$

$(F/A)_{stoichiometric} = 0.0424$

$(A/F)_{stoichiometric} = 23.562$

the higher heating values $(HHV)_f$ per unit mass of LPG = 49.9876 MJ/kg

the lower heating values $(LHV)_f$ per unit mass of LPG = 46.4933 MJ/kg

Explanation:

The stoichiometric equation can be expressed as :

$0.7C_3H_8 \ + \ 0.05C_4H_{10} \ + \ 0.25 C_3H_6 \ + \ x(O_2 \ + \ 3.76N_2) ---> aCO_2 \ + \ bH_2O \ + \ cN_2$

Now, equating the coefficient of carbon; we have:

(0.7×3)+(0.05×4)+(0.25×3) = a

a = 3.05

Also, Equating the coefficient of hydrogen : we have:

(0.7 × 8) +(0.05 × 10) + ( 0.25 × 6) = 2 b

2b = 7.6

b = 3.8

Equating the coefficient of oxygen

2x = 2a + b

$x = \frac{2a+b}{2} \\ \\ x = \frac{2(3.05)+3.8}{2} \\ \\ x = 4.95$

Equating the coefficient of Nitrogen

$c = 3.76x \\ \\ c = 3.76 *4.95 \\ \\ c = 18.612$

Therefore, The overall balanced combustion reaction can now be written as :

$0.7C_3H_8 \ + \ 0.05C_4H_{10} \ + \ 0.25 C_3H_6 \ + \ x(O_2 \ + \ 3.76N_2) ---> 3.05CO_2 \ + \ 3.8H_2O \ + \ 18.612N_2$

Now; To determine the stoichiometric F/A and A/F ratios; we have:

$(F/A)_{stoichiometric} = \frac{n_f}{n_a } \\ \\ (F/A)_{stoichiometric} = \frac{1}{4.95*(1+3.76)} \\ \\ (F/A)_{stoichiometric} = 0.0424$

$(A/F)_{stoichiometric} = \frac{n_a}{n_f } \\ \\ (A/F)_{stoichiometric} = \frac{4.95*(1+3.76)}{1} \\ \\ (A/F)_{stoichiometric} = 23.562$

What are the higher and lower heating values per unit mass of LPG?

Let calculate the molecular mass of the fuel in order to determine their mass fraction of the fuel components.

Molecular mass of the fuel $M_f = (0.7*M_{C_3H_5} ) + (0.05 *M_{C_4H_{10}}) + (0.25*M _{C_3H_6})$

= 30.8 + 2.9 + 10.5

= 44.2 kg/mol

Mass fraction of the fuel components can now be calculated as :

$m_{C_3H_8} = \frac{30.8}{44.2} \\ \\ m_{C_3H_8} = 0.7 \\ \\ \\ m_{C_4H_{10}} = \frac[2.9}{44.2} \\ \\ m_{C_4H_{10}} = 0.06 \\ \\ \\ m_{C_3H_6} = \frac{10.5}{44.2} \\ \\ m_{C_3H_6} = 0.24$

Finally; calculating the higher heating values $(HHV)_f$ per unit mass of LPG; we have:

$(HHV)_f=(0.7 * HHV_{C_3H_8}) + (0.06 *HHV_{C_4H_{10}})+(0.24*HHV_{C_3H_6} \\ \\ (HHV)_f=(0.7*50.38)+(0.06*49.56)+(0.24*48.95) \\ \\ (HHV)_f=49.9876 \ MJ/kg$

calculating the lower heating values $(LHV)_f$ per unit mass of LPG; we have:

$(LHV)_f = (HHV)_f - \delta H_w \\ \\ (LHV)_f = (HHV)_f - [\frac{m_w}{m_f}h_{vap}] \\ \\ (LHV)_f = 49.9876 \ MJ/kg - [\frac{3.8*18}{44.2}*2.258 \ MJ/kg] \\ \\ (LHV)_f = 46.4933 \ M/kg$
