Reduced pressure $P_r$
A substance A reacts with another substance B to produce
the desired compound C by the reaction 2A + B \(\rightarrow\) C. In addition, the
substance A can also decompose to give two other substances D and E by
the side-reaction, A \(\rightarrow\) D + E. A feed containing 50 moles of A and 50 moles
of B is reacted to produce a products stream which contains the following:
A = 4 moles, B = 32 moles, C = 18 moles, D = 10 moles, E = 10 moles.
(a) What is the conversion?
(b) What is the yield by definition (i)?
(c) What is the yield by definition (ii)?
