Given the image below, which includes 25% conversion in reactor, 10% purge and recycle stream. Conduct a mass balance producing 100 tons of ammonia per day (assume the whole calculation done is one day). Consider the chemical reaction occuring in the reactor.

Given the image below, which includes 25% conversion in reactor, 10% purge
