Question
Help with the following question. Please answer all parts of the question.
Acetylene is hyrodgenated to form ethane. The feed to the reactor contains 1.20 mol H₂/mol C₂H₂. The reaction proceeds to completion.. a. Calculate the stoichiometric reactant ratio (mol H₂ reacted/mol C₂H₂ reacted) and the yield ratio (mol C₂H6 formed/mol H₂ reacted). i i mol H₂ reacted/mol C₂H₂ reacted mol C₂H6 formed/mol H₂ reacted b. Determine the percentage by which acetylene is in excess. % c. Calculate the mass feed rate of hydrogen (kg/s) required to produce 7.00 x 10 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. kg/s
