Chapter 4, Problem 4.97P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Calculate the percentage excess air fed to the reactor.

Concept introduction:

Mass is defined as,

$m=n\left(M\right)$

Where, m = mass, n = moles, M = molar mass

Mole fraction is defined as,

$x=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

Where, x = mole fraction, nA and nB are moles of A and B.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Calculate the mole fractions of CO and SO₂.

Concept introduction:

Mass is defined as,

$m=n\left(M\right)$

Where, m = mass, n = moles, M = molar mass

Mole fraction is defined as,

$x=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

Where, x = mole fraction, nA and nB are moles of A and B.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Estimate the rate of formation of sulfuric acid.

Concept introduction:

Mass is defined as,

$m=n\left(M\right)$

Where, m = mass, n = moles, M = molar mass

Mole fraction is defined as,

$x=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

Where, x = mole fraction, nA and nB are moles of A and B.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

State the coal power plants in a US state, and annual SO₂ emissions.

Concept introduction:

Mass is defined as,

$m=n\left(M\right)$

Where, m = mass, n = moles, M = molar mass

Mole fraction is defined as,

$x=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$
