Hydrogen peroxide is a commonly used disinfectant that often comes in brown bottles to avoid light-induced reactions. One such reaction is its decomposition into water and oxygen. In this problem, we will consider two schemes for producing 100. kg/min of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide. In both schema, the reactor converts 60 wt% of hydrogen peroxide into the products. Scheme A discards the unreacted hydrogen peroxide with the byproduct water; Scheme B uses a second separator to recycle unreacted hydrogen peroxide and produces pure water. Write a balanced equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. What is the mol fraction of each species in stream 2 for scheme A? Scheme A 100 kg/min Oz 3 HO2 HO HO Reactor 2 60% of HO Liquid-gas separator converted HO HO Hydrogen peroxide is a commonly used disinfectant that often comes in brown bottles to avoid light-induced reactions.
