Question: [ 2 5 ] A reactor in which methane is oxidized to formaldehyde and water vapor is C H 4 ( g ) + O

[25] A reactor in which methane is oxidized to formaldehyde and water vapor is
CH4(g)+O2(g)HCHO(g)+H2O(v),hat(H)r=
The following material flows are known around the reactor:
feed stream at 25C:20molh-CH4(g)
feed stream at 25C:30molh of O2(g)
product stream at 150C:12molh of CH4(g),8molh of HCHO(g),8molhH2O(v) and 22
molh of O2(g)
(a)[5] Draw the flow chart with all material flows given above at the appropriate temperatures.
(b)[10] What is the extent of reaction , based on CH4?
(c)[10] Use heats of formation and Hess's law to calculate the standard heat of reaction hat(H)r.
(d)[15] Choose as references the components CH4(g),O2(g),HCHO(g) and H2O(v) at 25C,1atm,
and build the inlet-outlet enthalpy table.
(e)[10] Use the energy balance (heat of reaction method) and calculate the heat transferred QkJh.
