You are burning organic brush in your backyard. The molecular formula for the brush is: C204 H325 O85 N77. During combustion, oxygen reacts with the brush to form CO2, CO, NO2, H2O. There is 15% excess compost, and the molar ratio of CO2/CO is 5:1. All the N produces NO2, all the hydrogen produces H2O. Assume you start with 100 moles/hr of organic compost and that the N2 in the air doesn’t react. Note: Excess compost is defined as that needed for the reaction to form both CO2 and CO and NO and H2O. a. Draw and label the diagram. b. Calculate the number of moles of compost that burns. c. Calculate the number of moles of CO leaving the reactor. d. Calculate the number of moles of air entering the reactor
