Question:
A. Draw a labeled, schematic of the process, indicating all inlet/outlet streams and conditions
B. Determine the value of the equilibrium constant at the conditions of the reactor. If you are unable to obtain an answer for this part and require one for subsequent parts, presume that K = 10.
C. Write expressions for the composition of the reactor components (SO2, SO3, O2, and N2) using a basis of 1 mol SO2. Using any reasonable or necessary approximations, obtain an expression for the equilibrium constant as a function of the extent of reaction ξ. You do not need a numerical result.
D. Determine the amount of heat (per mole of SO2 fed to the reactor) that must be added or removed from the reactor to maintain isothermal operation. If you do not know the extent of reaction, presume that the reaction proceeds to equilibrium.
