(a)
Interpretation:
The state of the reaction at the end of two-hour period is to be stated. Also, the percent decomposition of dimethyl ether is to be determined if the reaction has not proceeded to completion.
Concept introduction:
A flowchart is the complete representation of a process through boxes or other shapes which represents process units and arrows that represents the input and output of the process. The flowchart must be fully labelled to infer important data about the process involved.
Equation of states for an ideal gas is:
Here,
Stoichiometry is the calculation of the reactants and the products involved in aa chemical reaction. It is based on the law of mass conservation. According to the stoichiometry, total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
(b)
Interpretation:
The input-output enthalpy table is to be prepared and filled using elemental species as reference.
Concept introduction:
Specific heat capacity
Specific enthalpy
Here,
(c)
Interpretation:
The values of
Concept introduction:
The energy balance equation to be used is:
The formula to calculate the extent of reaction,
Here,
The formula to calculate heat of the reaction is:
The formula to calculate the internal energy of the reaction is:
(d)
Interpretation:
The amount heat transferred to or from the reactor during the two hours of the reaction is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The formula to calculate the value of
(e)
Interpretation:
The final volume of the reactor and the required amount of heat transfer are to be calculated is the reactor used is expandable. Also, the reason for the difference in the values of calculated
Concept introduction:
Equation of states for an ideal gas is:
Here,
For the system at constant pressure but variable volume, the mount of heat transfer is calculated as:
