Extracted text: Methane and oxygen react in the presence of a catalyst to form formaldehyde. CНA + O, - НСНО + Н2О A parallel reaction also occurs, where methane is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water. CH4 + 202 → CO2 + 2H„O The feed to the reactor contains equimolar amounts of methane and oxygen. The fractional conversion of methane is 0.90 and the fractional yield of formaldehyde is 0.855. What is the mol percent of formaldehyde in the reactor output? What is the selectivity of formaldehyde synthesis relative to carbon dioxide synthesis?
