called oxidative carbonylation of methanol:
A gas containing 80 mol % CH3OH and 20 mol % CO at 2000 gmol/h is
mixed with air (79 mol % N₂ and 21 mol % O₂) and then fed to a reactor
operating at steady state, where the reaction takes place. The flow rate of
the stream leaving the reactor is 2264 gmol/h, and this stream contains no
O₂. Draw a flow diagram and write the correct form of the material balance
equations for all compounds in this system. Determine the flow rate of air
to the reactor, the extent of reaction 4, and the composition (mol %) of the
reactor effluent.
