Question

Ethane is burned with air in a continuous steady-state combustion reac tor to yield a mixture of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and water. The feed to the reactor contains 10 mol/min C2H, and 200 mol/min air. The percentage conversion of ethane is 80%, and the gas leaving the reactor contains 8 mol CO2 per mol of CO. Determine the molar flow rate of the ethane gas in the product stream. (2 mol/min)
