Q1: A process for producing methane from synthesis gas and steam is fed 6 kgmol/min of a gas consisting of 50% H2, 33% CO, and the rest CH4 (all on a mole basis) and 72 kg/min of steam (H2O). The products are 3 kgmol/min of liquid water and 96 kg/min of a gas consisting of 25%CH4, 25% CO2, and the rest H2 (all on a mole basis). Determine whether: a. Total mass is conserved. b. Total moles are conserved. c. The moles of each type of atoms are conserved. d. The mass of each type of chemical species is conserved. e. What do you conclude is happening in this process?
