Question

In a continuous steady-state process the following two reactions take place:

C₆H₁₂ + 6H₂O à 6CO + 12H₂

C₆H₁₂ + H2 à C₆H₁₄

In the process 150 moles of C₆H₁₂ and 400 moles of H₂O are fed into reactor each hour. The yield of H2 is 50% and the selectivity of the first reaction compare to the second reaction is 22. Calculate the molar flow rates of the all five components in the output stream.
