Balance of Reactive Process (Chemical Reaction)

This is just a simplified articles that I want to share with everyone especially for those who related to chemical engineering field.

More than 90% chemical product was developed by reaction procecss. Example such as cracking of ethane produce ethylene and fermentation of carbohydrates to produce ethyl alcohol.

Example of chemical equation: Production of ethylene from ethane

C₂H₆ + O₂ ---> C₂H₄ +CO₂ +H₂O

Compostion= [A+B+C]=1

A=10%; B=60%; C=30%

So, the Fraction:mass or mole

A=[10/100]=0.1

B=[60/100]=0.6

C=[30/100]=0.3

Overall=0.3+0.6+0.1=1

Reactants= substances chemical that react to new thing[product]

Product= form after reaction occurs

Reaction= condition where substances are influence by process variables and full transformation onto other substances or partial transformation.
