A reactor is supplied with 10 mole of Hexane and some hydrogen to produce 20% methane, 30% propane and 50% butane, what is the rate of products? Correct Answer 26.6 mole

The reaction is 2C6H14 + 2H2 -> CH4 + 2C3H8 + C5H12, Let the rate of products be P. Element balance, C: 2*10(6) = 0.2P(1) + 2*0.3P(3) + 0.5P(5), => 120 = 4.5P, => P = 26.6 mole.

With reference to two non-conventional energy sources called 'coalbed methane' and 'shale gas' consider the following statements: 1. Coalbed methane is the pure methane gas extracted from coal seams, while shale gas is a mixture of propane and butane only that can be extracted from fine-grained sedimentary rocks. 2. In India, abundant coalbed methane sources exist, but so far no shale gas sources have been found. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Which of the following statement about butane is correct? The IUPAC name of butane is also butane. But its common name is n-butane. 
Which of the following statement about propane is correct? The IUPAC name of propane is also propane. The formula of propane is C4H10.
The fresh feed to an ammonia synthesis reactor contains nitrogen, hydrogen and 2.0 mole per cent inerts. The molar ratio of H2:N2 is 3:1. The product stream consists of pure ammonia. Since conversion in the reactor is only 15%, a recycle stream is used and in order to avoid build-up of inerts, a purge stream is withdrawn. The rate of purge stream is adjusted to keep inert concentration in the recycle stream at 8 mole per cent. For a fresh feed rate of 100 moles/hr. Note that recycle stream contains only nitrogen, hydrogen and inerts. The N2:H2 ratio of 1:3 is maintained in every process stream, and calculate the moles of nitrogen entering the reactor and in the recycle stream?
