Methane and oxygen react in the presence of a catalyst to form formaldehyde. In a parallel reactio'n, methane is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water: Student Workbook CH4 + Oz ---". HCHO + HzO CH4 + 2 Oz ---". COz + 2 H20 The feed to the reactor contains equimolar amounts of methane and oxygen. Assume a basis of 100 mol feed/so (a) Draw and label a flowchart. Use a degree-of-freedom analysis based on extents of reaction to determine how many process variable values must be specified for the remaining variable values to be calculated. (b) Use Equation 4.6-6 to derive expressions for the product stream component flow rates in terms of the two extents of reaction, ~1 and ~z. (c) The fractional conversion of methane is 0.900 and the fractional yield of formaldehyde is 0.855. Calculate the molar composition of the reactor output stre
