Question

Chemistry

Methane is synthesized with a stoichiometric mixture of CO andH2 that is produced via a large scale coal gasification process

CO + 3H2 = CH4 + H2O

over Ni/Alumina catalyst.

(a) What is the equilbrium conversion you can get at400oC and 1 atm?

(b) Because of exothermic nature of the reaction, reactiontemperature inside a large scale commercial reactor could be raisedto 700oC even if the feed temperature is kept at350oC. Estimate the equilibrium conversion at700oC and 1 atm.

(c) At what pressure will the equilibrium conversion be 90% at700oC ?

+) to the comments

No, I don't have any.. the text i typed above is all my prof.gave me. Are those information just a common sense that he thinksthat he doesn't have to inform us?

p.s. My major is Chemical engineering and this class is aboutReaction Engineering
