A well-known reaction to generate hydrogen from steam is the so-called water gas shift reaction:

CO + H2O → CO2 + H2. If the gaseous feed to a reactor consists of 30 moles of CO per hour, 12 moles of CO2* per hour, and 35 moles of steam per hour at 800°C, and 18 moles of H2 are produced per hour, calculate:

a. The limiting reactant

b. The excess reactant

c. The fraction conversion of steam to H2

d. The degree of completion of the reaction

e. The kilograms of H2 yielded per kilogram of steam fed

f. The moles of CO2 produced by the reaction per mole of CO fed

g. The extent of reaction
