Question: Problem # 1 : Reaction to form ammonia. Ammonia is created in high pressure and high temperature according to the following reaction in the gas

Problem #1: Reaction to form ammonia. Ammonia is created in high pressure and high temperature according to the following reaction in the gas phase. A gas stream enters a reactor with a flowrate of 10 moles ?hr-N2,33 moles/hr of H2 and 0.5 moles ?hr of NH3 along with 1.5molhr of argon gas (this is an inert and doesn't react). You measure the outlet and find that there are 5.55 moles/hr of N2 leaving the reactor. Your job is to calculate the mass fraction of N2,H2,NH3 and inert in the stream leaving the reactor.
N2(g)+3H2(g)=2NH3(g)
a.(2)Draw and label the diagram. Include all species entering and leaving the reactor.
b.(2) Write out the mole balance for each species present. Use this to determine the limiting reactant and the extent of reaction (B).
c.(2) Fill out a SPICEY table and determine the mol fraction of each species leaving the reactor.
