Stoichiometry
A metal oxide is reduced by heating it in a stream of hydrogen. After complete reduction, it is found that 3.15 gm of the oxide has yielded 1.05 gm of the metal. It may be inferred that the
Recycling in a process stream helps in utilising the valuable reactants to the maximum with minimum loss of reactants
The ratio of the quantity of a reactant present in the reactor feed of a recycling operation to the quantity of the same reactant entering the process as fresh feed is called combined feed ratio
Recycling is exemplified by refluxing back a part of the distillate to the distillation column to maintain the quantity of liquid within the column
Recycling in a process does not help in getting higher extent of reaction
