If the reaction is begun by adding the catalyst to a flask


In order to generate the starting material for a polymer that is used in water bottles, hydrogen is removed from the ethane in natural gas to produce ethane in the catalyzed reaction

C2H6(g) <--> H2(g) + C2H4(g)

(a) Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction at 298 K.

(b) If the reaction is begun by adding the catalyst to a flask containing C2H6 at 10.0 bar, what will the partial pressure of C2H4 at equilibrium?

(c) Identify three steps the manufacturer can take to increase the yield of the product?
