Question: Cyclohexane ( C 6 H 1 2 ) can be made by the reaction of benzene with hydrogen according to the following reaction: C 6

Cyclohexane (C6H12) can be made by the reaction of benzene with hydrogen according to
the following reaction:
C6H6+3H2-> C6H12
20% excess hydrogen is used in the fresh feed, and that the composition of the recycle
stream is 22.74 mol % benzene and 78.26 mol % hydrogen. If the overall conversion of
benzene is 95% and the single-pass conversion through the reactor is 20%,
a. Determine the all unknowns
b. Determine the ratio of the recycle stream to the fresh feed stream
