The gas-phase reaction

1 3
2
N2 + 2 H2 NH3

is to be carried out isothermally. The molar feed is 50% H2 and 50% N2, at a pressure of 16.4 atm
and 227C.
a) Construct a complete stoichiometric table.
b) What are CA0, . and ? Calculate the concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen when the
conversion of H2 is 60%. (Ans: CH2= 0.1 mol/dm3)
c) Suppose by chance the reaction is elementary with kN2 = 40 dm3/mol/s. Write the rate of
reaction solely as a function of conversion for (I) a flow system and (2) a constant volume
batch system.
Jawaban
a) Construct a complete stoichiometric table.

Diketahui bahwa umpan masuk 50% H2 dan 50% N2.

0 = 0.5 0
0 = 0.5 0
Sehingga,
0 = 0
Karena reaksi yang berlangsung adalah
1 3
2
N2 + 2 H2 NH3

dengan kondisi awal sama, maka yang menjadi reaksi pembatas adalah H2 bersesuaian dengan
koefisien rekasi, dimana koefisien H2 lebih besar daripada N2. Maksudnya adalah dengan
koefisien yang lebih besar H2 akan lebih banyak yang bereaksi.
