Question: Hydrogen is produced by the reaction C O ( g ) + H 2 O ( g ) C O 2 ( g ) +

Hydrogen is produced by the reaction
CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g)
The feed stream, which contains 40mol%CO and 60mol% steam, enters the reactor at 150C and
atmospheric pressure. If 60% of the steam is converted to H2 and if the product stream leaves the reactor
at 450C, calculate whether heat should be supplied to or removed from the reactor and how much heat
must be transferred? The heat capacities for the various gases in an ideal gas state are temperature
dependent, and they can be found in the Appendix of the textbook.
