Company XYZ produces ammonia (NH3) by the following Haber process: 1/2N2 + 3/2H2 NH3 The reactants consist of 0.5 mol N2 and 1.5 mol H2 and the reaction reaches equilibrium at 375 K and 1 bar. During a routine production operation, the pressure of the reactor was found to increase due to the blockage of the unreacted reactants in the vent lines. Evaluate the effect of the pressure rise on the equilibrium mole fraction of NH3 determined before the vent line blockage incident. Given: AH = -46110 J/mol, AG = -16450 J/mol, AA = -2.9355, AB = 2.09 x 103, AC = 0, AD = -3.31 x 104, and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Assume ideal gases. %3D

Hospital patients are often given glucose (blood sugar) through a tube connected to a bottle suspended over their beds. Suppose that this "drip" supplies glucose at the rate of 15 mg per minute, and each minute 20% of the accumulated glucose is consumed by the body. Then the amount y(t) of glucose (in excess of the normal level) in the body after t minutes satisfies the following. y' = 15 − 0.2y (Do you see why?) y(0) = 0 (zero excess glucose at t = 0) Solve this differential equation and initial condition.

Synthesis gas, a mixture that includes the fuels CO and H₂,is used to produce liquid hydrocarbons and methanol. It is madeat pressures up to 100 atm by oxidation of methane followed bythe steam re-forming and water-gas shift reactions.
