The production of cells from glucose is represented by the following stoichiometric equation:

C6H12O6 + 0.705NH3 + 1.867O2 3.899CH1.7N0.18100.475 + 0.88O2+ 2.103CO2 + 3.75H2O

If 200 g of glucose and 200 g of ammonia are added to a bioreactor with an excess of 20% air,
determine the limiting reagent and complete the following table.

Ammonia reacts with oxygen to form nitric oxide according to the following reaction:
NH3 + 5O2 4NO +6H2O
a) If ammonia is added to a continuous reactor at a speed of 100 km / h, determine the
amount of oxygen that must be added to the reactor to have a 40% excess.

b) If 50 kg of ammonia and 100 kg of oxygen are added to an intermittent reactor.


determine the limiting reagent, the% excess of the other reagent, the NO produced if
the reaction proceeds to complete
