    Q-1) (15 Marks)

    Nitric acid is made commercially from nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is produced by the gas-phase
    oxidation of ammonia.

    4NH3 + 5O2 4NO + 6H2O

    The feed consists of 15 mol% ammonia in air at 8.2 atm and 227C. Assume ideal gas.

    a) Set up a stoichiometric table with ammonia as your basis of calculation by express


    Concentration for all species as functions of conversion for a flow reactor.

    b) Write rate law in terms of conversion. Assume the reaction is first order in both reactants.

    Additional information:

    R=0.082 atm.dm3/(mol.K),

    Solution
    Assume ideal gas behavior.

    Therefore,

    Entering concentration of ammonia


    a) Stoichiometric Table
    b) Combined mole balance and rate law
    Q-2) (5-11) (10 Marks)

    The gas phase reaction

    A B + C
    follows an elementary rate law and is to be carried out first in a PFR and then in a separate
    experiment in a CSTR. When Pure A is fed to a 10 dm 3 PFR at 290 K and a volumetric flow rate
    of 5 dm3/s, the conversion is 80%. When a mixture of 50% A and 50% inert (I) is fed to a 10 dm 3
    CSTR at 330K and a volumetric flow rate of 5 dm 3/s the conversion is also 80%. What is the
    activation energy in cal/mol?
