Consider the following reaction:
Ethylene (C2H4) + 1/2 O2 ? Ethylene oxide (C2H4O)
1. Calculate the standard heats of this reaction at 25C and at 300C.
2. Calculate the thermodynamic equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25C and at 300C
3. How does pressure affect the equilibrium composition for this reaction?
4. Establish the mole fractions of different components in a feed stream to a reactor to which only ethylene and 30% excess air are fed at 80C
5. Calculate the temperature and composition of exit gases from an adiabatic reactor to which ethylene and 30% excess air are fed at 80C, and the product stream is at equilibrium.
6. How much heat must be added or removed from a reactor in which a feed stream containing ethylene and 30% excess air are fed at 80C, reactor temperature is held constant at 300C, and the exit stream has all components at equilibrium?
