Methanol (CH3OH) is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the reaction and process given below: CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and 0.400 mol% inerts (I). The reactor effluent passes through a condenser that removes essentially all of the methanol and water formed and none of the reactants or inerts. The unreacted reactants and inerts are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycle. 100 mol/h of feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed to the process) contains 29.5 mol% CO2, 68.0 mol% H2, and 2.50 mol% inerts. The single-pass conversion of hydrogen is 46.71%. What is the recycle-to-fresh feed ratio?

Determine the equilibrium constant (Kc) for the reaction under these conditions.
While ethanol (CH3CH2OH) is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene (CH2CH2) with water vapor at elevated temperatures. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 500. mL flask with 4.6atm of ethylene gas and 4.2atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium he determines that it contains 2.7atm of ethylene gas and 2.3atm of water vapor. The engineer then adds another 1.5atm of ethylene, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
The reaction A(aq) + B(aq) C(aq) + D(aq) has a ΔHrxn = -85 kJ/mol. This reaction is endorthermic or exothermic . If the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased, equilibrium will shift towards the reactans or products. This change will decrease or increase the concentration of the reactants and K will increase or deacrease
Silver chloride is classified as an insoluble compound because it dissolves only to a small extent in water. Consider the balanced equation and equilibrium constant that shows the partial dissolving of silver chloride in water: AgCl(s) = Ag*(aq) + CI"(ag) Keg = 1.70 x 10-10 a) The reaction AgCl(s) = Ag*(aq) + Cl (ag) is classified as a (homogeneous or heterogeneous) equilibrium because it involves more than one physical state, solid and aqueous. b) Based on the equilibrium constant value and the equilibrium constant expression, the concentration of each ion in a saturated solution of silver chloride is : Concentration of Ag = x 10 Concentration of CI" = x 10 M
