Cyclohexane (C6H12C_6H_{12}) is produced from benzene (C6H6C_6H_6) and hydrogen (H2H_2) according to the following reaction: C6H6+3H2C6H12C_6H_6 + 3H_2 \longrightarrow C_6H_{12} In this process, the overall and single-pass conversions are 90%90\% and 25%25\%, respectively. The recycle stream contains 25 mol % C6H625 \text{ mol \% } C_6H_6 and 75 mol % H275 \text{ mol \% } H_2. If the fresh feed contains 25%25\% excess H2H_2, at steady state, the ratio of the molar flow rate of recycle stream to that of the fresh feed is _________ (rounded off to one decimal place).
