Question

Sunflower oil contains 0.080 mol palmitic acid 0.060 mol stearic acid 020 mol oleic acid (craH30o2ymol, and 0.66 mol linoleic acid (cBHzozymol. To create margarine from form solid oil, the liquid oleic and linoleic acids are hydrogenated in the presence of a metal catalyst to stearic Heo, amargarine a stream 355.0 mol sunnower is fed into a reactor. The fresh hydrogen source available is a mixture 0.96 mol o.040 (N2 is this ess.) To insure complete hydrogenation, the hydrogen gas introduced into the reactor in is 0% excess. All reaction products leave the reactor and proceed to a separator where and acids are separated from the hydrogen gas mixture. The mixture recycled to the fresh feed stream, and 150.0 mol gashr this recycle stream is purged to prevent the buildup of nitrogen gas. What is the molar flow rate of the fresh hydrogen and nitrogen gas mixture to the process? Number mol gas/hr What is the composition of the purge stream? Number mol H, l mol
