34 Marks Methanol And Pure Oxygen Are Fed Into An Isothermal Reactor Maintained At 25 C In A 1 1 Ratio The Feed Rate 1 (300.35 KiB) Viewed 37 times

(34 marks) Methanol and pure oxygen are fed into an isothermal reactor, maintained at 25 C in a 1:1 ratio. The feed rate to the reactor is 480 gmol min and the reactor operates at steady state. The reactions that take place are as follows: CH₂OH (1) + O₂(g) → HCOOH (1) + H₂0 (1) (1) 13 CH₂OH (1) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂0 (1) (2) - The exit flow of the reactor was measure to be 520 gmol min, where the reactor effluent contains formic acid, water, carbon dioxide, methanol and no oxygen. 1.1 Draw a fully labeled diagram for this process
