Question: Two gaseous streams are fed to a continuous reactor that operates at steady state. Stream 1 is being supplied at a rate of 1 ,

Two gaseous streams are fed to a continuous reactor that operates at steady state.
Stream 1 is being supplied at a rate of 1,000kmolh. This stream contains carbon monoxide (CO) at 65mol% and nitrogen. Stream 2 is air and is being supplied at a rate of 1,800kmolh. Air can be assumed to contain only oxygen (at 21mol%) and nitrogen.
In the reactor, carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen and produces carbon dioxide (CO2).
The fractional conversion of the carbon monoxide supplied to the reactor is 0.90. There is a single (gaseous) stream exiting the reactor (stream3).
1. Find the molar flow rate of stream 3.
2. Find the molar composition of stream 3.
3. Find the mass (weight) composition of stream 3.
