A coke oven produces 1,000,000 ft3/h of a gas that has the following composition
in percent by volume: C6H6 8%, C3H8 5%, CH4 40%, CO 7%, H2 35% and the rest is CO2.
The gas comes out of the furnace at 20 lb/in2 and 740 ºF. After cooling to 100ºF, the benzene and the
toluene is eliminated by 85% by weight through absorption.
1,000,000 ft³/h = 28,816,000 l

28. A mixture that contains 20% mol of CO, 30% mol of CO2, 40% mol of N2, and 10% mol of
O2 is at 600°R and 30 lb/in2 in a 1 ft3 container; it is passed through a
tank where 85% of CO2 is eliminated, with the mixture exiting at 1 atm and 25°C.
Determine:
a) What is the average molecular weight of the mixture at the beginning and at the end of the
process?
Average molecular weight at the beginning:
