Ethylene glycol is produced from according to the reaction C2H4 + O2 ----C2H4O The side reaction below also occur C2H4 +O2------CO2 +H20 The mole fraction of C2H4 in the feed is 0.1. The reactor recorded 25 % C2H4 conversion and a yield of 75 % (moles of C2H4O/moles of C2H4 reacted). Determine the flow rates of C2H4, C2H4O, H2O, CO2 and O2 exiting the reactor.
