#11 Material Balance Calculations For Single Units With A Single Reaction | Part 1

[@somoprovahalder1819]

In the last part of the sum , why are we considering the molecular mass of oxygen to be 16 and not 32? 16 is the atomic weight of Oxygen, but MW(O2)=16*2=32. The answer is correct though :)

Since the answer is correct..sir would have performed a teeny tiny mistake..we can overlook that right..

Very easy to understand.

[@harshpandey8302]

how do we get to know that these percentage( as mentioned in the question) are mole percentage not mass percentage??

[@aaminahrabaab635]

Since we are dealing with gases...we tend to take the basis in moles. If case of solid or fluid components involved we take them in terms of mass.
