Question
Consider the following vapor phase reaction of ethylene.
C₂H₂(g) + H₂0(g) C₂H₂OH(g)
The value of Gibbs free energy is equal to 5040 J at a temperature and pressure of 125°C
and 1 atm .Compute the conversion value if an isothermal reactor contains 50 mole % of
steam while operating at a temperature of 125°C and 2 atm. Assume the outlet components
behave ideally and the condition of equilibrium is attained at the exit.
