Ethylene is produced by the dehydrogentaion of ethane according to the reaction: CH 2 6(g) → CH +H 2 4 (g) 2 However, the produced ethylene can further react with excess ethane to form propylene and methane: CH + CH →CH 2 4 (g) 2 6(g) 3 6(g) + CH 4 (g) If 344.73 mol/h of a mixture containing 89.42% ethane with inert nitrogen gas as the balance enters a reactor, the fractional conversion from ethane to ethylene is 0.7241 and the selectivity is 4.96. Ethylene is the desired product while propylene is the undesired. Determine the extent of the desired reaction. Type your answer in moles, 2 decimal places.
