What mass of acrylnitrile is produced when the following pressures of reagent gases are reacted in a 150L reactor at 25 C?
C
3H
6 (g) 800kPa NH
3 (g) 500 kPa O
2 (g) 1500 kPa
C
3H
6 (g) + NH
3 (g) + 3/2 O
2 (g) --------> C
3H
3N(g) + 3H
2O (g,l)
mass of C
3H
3N = ?
V = 150L
T= 25 C = 298.15K
MM C3H3N = 53.064 g mol
-1P = 800 + 500 + (1.5 x 1500) = 3500 kPa = 35.03 atm
m =
PVM RT
=
(35.03atm)(150L)(53.064 g mol-1) (0.08206 L atm K
-1 mol
-1)(298.15K)
= 11396.330099 g = 11.39 kg
This is the wrong answer. I think my mistake is something to do with the pressure of the system or stoichiometry but I am not sure. A nudge in the right direction would be helpful.
Thanks
