Ethylene is produced by the dehydrogenation of ethane. If the feed includes 0.5 mole of steam (an inert diluent) per mole of ethane at 323 K, 1 bar and if the reaction reaches and equilibrium at 1100 K and 1 bar, determine the amount of heating needed or generated by assuming the complete dehydrogenation of ethane. Use the whole expansion of heat capacity values.
