Question: Calculation 2 : A mixture of 2 8 % ( mole fraction ) S O 2 and 7 2 % ( mole fraction ) air

Calculation 2: A mixture of 28%(mole fraction)SO2 and 72%(mole fraction) air is charged to a flow reactor in which SO2 is oxidized. This reaction conducts at P0=1485kPa and T0=500K. Assume air only consists of N2 and O2.
2SO2+O2longrightarrow2SO3
First, set up a stoichiometric table using only the symbols using SO2 as the basis of calculation. The symbols used to construct this table are j,Fj, and x. is the conversion of SO2; Construct this table using initial molar flow rate of SO2).
Second, express the concentration of SO2,O2, and SO3 as a function of conversion. Assume no pressure drop and this reaction is an isothermal reaction.
Evaluate the parameters , and (:I} and re-express concentration of SO2,O2, and SO3 as a function of conversion. (Assumption: ideal gas law is valid here).
