Question

In the process, you will feed 535 pounds per hour of fresh Ca(C2H3O2)2 and enough H2SO4 to be in 10.0% excess for converting the fresh Ca(C2H3O2)2. The single pass conversion of Ca(C2H3O2)2 in the reactor is 90.0%. Determine the amount of Ca(C2H3O2)2 recycled and the production rate of C2H4O2 by performing the following steps

In the process, you will feed 535 pounds per hour of fresh Ca(C2H3O2)2 and enough H2SO4 to be in 10.0% excess for converting the fresh Ca(C2H3O2)2. The single pass conversion of Ca(C2H3O2)2 in the reactor is 90.0%. Determine the amount of Ca(C2H3O2)2 recycled and the production rate of C2H4O2 by performing the following steps

Explanation / Answer

1.amount of Ca(C2H3O2)2 recycled =535+53.5/100x10=58.85 pounds per hour

2.535+53.5pounds=266939.11g

moles of Ca(C2H3O2)2=266939.11g/158.1660 g/mol =1687.71mol

mass of C2H4O2=1687.71molx2x60.0520=202701.30g=446.88pounds per hour

production rate of C2H4O2=446.88pounds per hour

One lb-mol is equal to 453.59237 mol

flow rate of C2H4O2=3375.42molx1lb-mol / 453.59237 mol=7.4415lb-mol/hour
