Ammonia is manufactured by the reaction of hydrogen and nitrogen. Since the nitrogen is obtained from air, it contains trates of Argon that is not involved in the reaction. A simplified flow chart of the process is provided with all information labeled. Using atomic balance whenever needed to determine:
Expert Answer
To determine the molar flow rates of the ammonia product (n?) and the purge stream (n?), we need to perform atomic balance for the reaction of hydrogen and nitrogen to produce ammonia. From the simplified flow chart, the following information is labe...
