Question
Ethylene oxide (EO) is prepared by the vapor-phase oxidation of ethylene.
Its main uses are in the preparation of the antifreeze ethylene glycol and
in the production of poly(ethylene terephthalate), which is used to make
beverage bottles and fibers. Pure EO vapor can decompose explosively:
H,C-CH2(g)-→ CH(g) + C0(g)
|
Liquid EO has AH = -77.4 kJ/mol and AH ° for its vaporization 569.4
%3D
%3D
J/g.
External heating causes the vapor to decompose at 14.528 bar and
92.4°C in a distillation column. What is the final temperature if 1.932
mols of EO reacted and the average specific heat capacity of the products
is 2.769 J/g.°C?
