Chapter 14.6, Problem 5E

(A)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Construct the stoichiometric table for the reactor that initially contains 2 moles of ${\text{SO}}_2$ and 1 mole of ${\text{O}}_2$.

Concept Introduction:

The expression of the mole balance for each individual species is,

$N_{\text{final}}=N_{\text{initial}}+N_{\text{gen}}$

Here, initial number of moles is $N_{\text{initial}}$ and final number of moles is $N_{\text{final}}$.

The expression of the vapor mole fraction $\left(y\right)$ is,

$y=\frac{N_{\text{final}}}{{\displaystyle \sum N_{\text{final}}}}$

Here, summation of final number of moles is ${\displaystyle \sum N_{\text{final}}}$.

(B)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Construct the stoichiometric table for the reactor that initially contains 2 moles of ${\text{SO}}_2$ and 10 moles of ${\text{O}}_2$.

(C)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Construct the stoichiometric table for the reactor that initially contains 2 moles of ${\text{SO}}_2$, 2 moles of ${\text{O}}_2$ and 2 moles of inert ${\text{N}}_2$.
