The data below is from an experiment for methanol steam reforming on Cu/ZnO catalyst (reactions below). The table lists the peak areas obtained from gas chromatography analysis of the reactor products. a) Derive the expression relating methanol conversion to the peak areas from gas chromatography and calculate the conversions for the data provided. The relative response factors (RRF) for CO,CO2? and CH3?OH are 1,1.14,1.39, respectively, where (peak area/RRF) ?mol%. b) Derive an expression for the error in conversion as a function of the error in RRF for CH3?OH. c) If the RRF for CH3?OH has an error of 10%, calculate the corresponding error in the conversion? d) What is the maximum error in the calculated conversion and at what conditions (i.e., conversion)? CH3?OH+H2?O?>CO2?+3H2?CH3?OH??CO+2H2??
