Question
2.193 Toluene (C,H5CH3) is hydrogenated according to the two simultaneous
chemical reactions
C,H5CH3 + H2
C6H6 + CH4
(а)
2C,H5CH3 + H2
(C,H6)2 + 2CH4
(b)
Initially, the reactor contains 40% toluene and 60% H2 (% mole). At
the end of the operation, the reactor contains 10% toluene and 30% CH4
(% mole). Find:
a. The mole fraction of the diphenyl, (C,H5)2, at the end of the operation
b. The conversion of H2
c. Solve (a) and (b) when the following final composition is specified: The
reactor contains 10% toluene and 40% H2 (% mole).
