While ethanol (CH,CH,OH) is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene (CH,CH,) with water vapor at elevated temperatures. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 100 L tank with 8.3 mol of ethylene gas and 32. mol of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 2.4 mol of ethylene gas and 26.1 mol of water vapor. The engineer then adds another 16. mol of water, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the moles of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time.

While ethanol (CH, CH₂OH) is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene (CH₂CH₂) with water vapor at elevated temperatures. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 2.0 L flask with 2.1 atm of ethylene gas and 3.2 atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 0.50 atm of ethylene gas and 1.6 atm of water vapor.
