Question

Glucose with pressure 10 atm at 27^oC is passed through a reactor with O2, what is the temperature of CO2 produced if pressure becomes thrice?

(a) 150 K

(b) 240 K

(c) 300 K

(d) 330 K

The question was posed to me in class test.

This question is from Material Balances Involving Ideal Gases in chapter Recycle, Bypass, Purge, Ideal Gases and Real Gases of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) 150 K

For explanation: The reaction is C6H12O6+ 9O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O, => 30/T = 6(10/300), => T = 150 K.
