Question
A gas consisting only of CO and N2 is made by passing a mixture of flue gas and
air through a bed of incandescent coke (assume pure carbon). The two reactions that
occur both go to completion:
CO2 + C-2CO
h
AH,,298 172.46 kJ/mol
- 221.05 kJ/mol
--
ΔΗ,,298
The flue gas composition is 12.8 mol% CO, 3.7 mol % CO2, 5.4 mol % O2, and
78.1 mol % N₂. The flue gas/air mixture is so proportioned that the heats of the two
reactions cancel. If the feed stream is preheated to 875 °C, and the temperature of
the coke bed is therefore constant at 875 °C.
If the process is adiabatic, what ratio of moles of flue gas to moles of air is required.
2C+02 → 2CO
