Acetylene is hydrogenated to form ethane. The feed to the reactor contains 1.50 mol H2/mol C2H2.

a. Calculate the stoichiometric reactant ratio (mol H2 react/mol C2H2 react) and the yield ratio (kmol C2H6 formed/kmol H2 react).
b. Determine the limiting reactant and calculate the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess.
c. Calculate the mass feed rate of hydrogen (kg/s) required to produce 4×106 metric tons of ethane per year, assuming that the reaction goes to completion and that the process operates for 24 hours a day, 300 days a year.
d. There is a definite drawback to running with one reactant in excess rather than feeding the reactants in stoichiometric proportion. What is it?

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
