Concept explainers
(a)
To estimate:
The fractional conversion achieved in the reactor in enthalpy process.
Concept introduction:
Ratio of moles reacted to the moles fed is called the fractional conversion. The determination of reactant which has reacted is called extent of reaction.
(b)
To sketch: The block diagram for the process path.
Concept introduction:
Ratio of moles reacted to the moles fed is called the fractional conversion. The determination of reactant which has reacted is called extent of reaction.
(c)
To estimate:
The method to improve the energy economy of the process.
Concept introduction:
Ratio of moles reacted to the moles fed is called the fractional conversion. The determination of reactant which has reacted is called extent of reaction.

- An industrial process for manufacturing sulfuric acid, H2SO4, uses hydrogen sulfide, H2S, from the purification of natural gas. In the first step of this process, the hydrogen sulfide is burned to obtain sulfur dioxide, SO2. 2H2S(g)+3O2(g)2H2O(l)+2SO2(g);H=1124kJ The density of sulfur dioxide at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.62 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 30.2 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat would be evolved in producing 1.00 L of SO2 at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) Suppose heat from this reaction is used to heat 1.00 L of the SO2 from 25C to 500C for its use in the next step of the process. What percentage of the heat evolved is required for this?arrow_forwardThe formation of aluminum oxide from its elements is highly exothermic. If 2.70 g Al metal is burned in pure O2 to give A12O3, calculate how much thermal energy is evolved in the process (at constant pressure).arrow_forwardGasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol, C2H5OH, is used as automobile fuel. The alcohol releases energy in a combustion reaction with O2. C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l) If 0.115 g ethanol evolves 3.62 kJ when burned at constant pressure, calculate the combustion enthalpy for ethanol.arrow_forward
