2. You are a member of a research team of chemists discussing plans for a plant to produce ethanol from steam with ethylene derived from oil. C₂H4(g) + H₂O(g) = C₂H5OH(g) This reaction is very slow even at 600 K. K = 2.4 x 10² at 600 K and AHrxn= -47.8 kJ/mol a) How can the reaction rate be increased? b) What conditions would result in a high yield? c) In NH3 production, the yield is increased by condensing the NH3 to a liquid and removing it. Would condensing ethanol have the same effect? d) Where will equilibrium shift if you increase the temperature?

b) What conditions would result in a high yield?
c) In NH3 production, the yield is increased by condensing the NH3 to a liquid and
removing it. Would condensing ethanol have the same effect?
d) Where will equilibrium shift if you increase the temperature?
3. We know that most solids are more soluble in warm water than in cold
water. Does the solubility of NH4Cl fit this pattern? Explain.
