Ethanol is produced commercially by hydrating ethylene (reaction with water). Use this as your first chemical reaction. However, some of the product is con verted to diethyl ether in the side reaction, together with water.  The feed to the reactor contains ethylene, steam, and an inert gas. A sample of the reactor effluent gas is analyzed and found to contain 43.3% mol ethylene, 2.5% ethanol, 0.14% ether, 9.3% inerts, and the balance water.  Determine the molar composition of the reactor feed, the percent conversion of ethylene, the fractional yield of ethanol, and the selectivity of ethanol production relative to ether production
