Question
A scientist from UAE Space Agency invented a new material called Betoxide (B,H,0)
which is produced by the catalytic reaction of Beto (B2H4)
2 C2H4 + 02
2 C2H20
(Desired reaction)
An unwanted competing reaction is the combustion of Beto
B2H4 + 302
2B02 + 2H20
(Undesired reaction)
a. The reactor feed consist of 400 moles of Beto and 100 moles of oxygen.
Calculate the composition of the reactor outlet for 20% conversion of Beto if
only the desired reaction takes place.
b. When both desired and undesired reactions take place, estimate the reactor
composition.
