Question
Transcribed Image Text:4. Ethylene oxide (C2H4O) can be produced by the partial oxidation of ethylene (C2H4) over a
catalyst. An undesired side reaction is the complete oxidation of ethylene to CO2 and H2O.
(R1)
(R2)
2C2H4 + O2 → 2C2H4O
C2H4 + 302
2CO2 + 2H2O
The reactor is fed at 100 mol/hr of ethylene, and the molar feed rate of C2H4:O2 is 2:1. Air (79%
N2 and 21% O2) is fed as the source of oxygen. 45% of the C2H4 is consumed in the reactor, and
all of the O2 is consumed.
What is the feed composition of all components in mol/hr?
What are 31
and
32,
the extents of reaction for the system, and the reactor
effluent composition of all components in mol/hr.
