the page was split they are the same question. I also need to report the extent of the reaction and the fractional conversion of each of the three reactants. The last person's response to the same question had x=.25 even though the equation did not simplify to that and now I'm confused.

1,3-propanediol (C3H8O2) is a building block in the synthesis of polymers that are used to make fabrics or plastic bottles. 1,3-propanediol is made commercially by both chemical and biological routes. One chemical route is called hydroformylation, starting from ethylene oxide (C2H4O) C2H4O+CO+2H2C3H8O2 A gas stream containing 30mol%C2H4Or30mol%CO, and 40mol% H2 is fed to a reactor at 900gmol/min, where the mixture reacts over a catalyst to make C3H8O2. The reactor operates at steady state. You are the process engineer in charge of monitoring the performance of the reactor. One day you sample the gas stream leaving the reactor and determine that it contains 36mol%C3H8O2. Draw a flow diagram and complete a DOF analysis. Then calculate the total flow rate (gmol/min) and molar composition of the reactor effluent. The molar flow rates of the reactants and products in the effluent gas stream can then be expressed as follows: C2H4O:(0.3900)(1x)=270270xCO:(0.3900)(1x)=270270xH2:(0.4900)(1x)=360360xC3H8O2:(0.36900)+(900x)=720+900x Step2/2 The sum of the molar flow rates of all species in the effluent gas stream is equal to the total flow rate: 270270x+270270x+360360x+720+900x=900 Simplifying and solving for x, we get: x=0.25 The molar flow rates of the species in the effluent gas stream can now be calculated: C2H4O:270270(0.25)=202.5gmol/minCO:270270(0.25)=202.5gmol/minH2:360360(0.25)=270gmol/minC3H8O2:720+900(0.25)=945gmol/min
