Question: Carbon dioxide ( C O 2 ) and water ( H 2 O ) is produced from the reaction of methane gas ( C H

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) is produced from the reaction of methane gas (CH4) with oxygen
gas (O2).
CH4+2O2CO2+2H2O
The isothermal and isobaric irreversible reaction consisting of 25molCCH4,50mol%O2 and the balance
nitrogen gas (N2) is carried out in a 45.0L batch reactor at 500K initially. The initial partial pressure of
CH4 is 82.0atm. From a prior study, it is determined that the reaction obeys elementary rate law. Given
the reaction rate constant as 10.0L2mol2. min at 800K with activation energy of 20.000Jmol.CH4 must
be used as the basis of calculations.
a. Construct a stoichiometric table for the above reaction. All values should be in function of conversion,
x only by evaluating numerically all other symbols (e.g.,,).
b. Determine the rate of disappearance of CO2 if the conversion is 50
note : write the answer in steps and details please
 Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) is produced from the reaction
