Chemistry

San Diego Gas & Electric provides natural gascomposed of 92 mol% methane, 7.0 mol% ethane, & 1.0 mol%nitrogen. 100 mol/hr of this gas is fed to a furnace with 30%excess air. The fractional conversion of both methane and ethane isonly 90% and no NOx is formed. The selectivity (CO2:CO) is 20.Using only component molar flow rates draw and label the processflow diagram, show that there are 0 degrees of freedom, and writedown the appropriate equations but do not solve. Use both the molarbalanxe method and atom balanxe method.
