A reactor system consists of 2 vessels connected in series. Tank 1 has a volume of 2.125 L
contains SO2 at a pressure of 2.75 atm, flask 2 with a volume of 1.5 L contains O2 at a pressure of 1.15 atm. All 2
gas at 80°C. The valve is opened so that the two cylinders can communicate with each other.
a) Determine the molar concentration of SO2 in the mixture, the total and specific pressure
the fraction of gases in the mixture when assuming no reaction between SO2 and O2.
b) Lead the gas mixture into the catalyst to react to form SO3, then the mixture
The reaction is directed back to the above 2 flask system. Determine the molar fraction
of the gases in the mixture and the total pressure if the reaction between SO2 and O2 is considered to be
completely.
