Question
Acetylene (C2H2) is hydrogenated to form ethane (C2H6). The feed to the reactor contains 1.50 mol
H2/mol C2H2. Calculate the stoichiometric reactant ratio (mol H2 react/mol C2H2 react) and the
yield ratio (kmol C2H6 formed/kmol H2 react). Determine the limiting reactant and calculate the
percentage by which the other reactant is in excess. Calculate the mass feed rate of hydrogen (kg/s)
required to produce 4•10^6 metric tons of ethane per year, assuming that the reaction goes to
completion and that the process operates for 24 hours a day, 300 days a year. Note: 1 metric ton =
1000 kg.
