Question

The following reversible exothermic reaction takes place on a solid catalyst. 
A +3B ↔ C

The initial molar flow rate ratio of A to B is 1:3. Plot the equilibrium conversion versus temperature at pressures of 1 and 10 atm for temperatures from 0 to 1000 °C. Note that industrial reactors operate at pressures as high as 100 atm, and ΔG0 = -15 kJ/mole and ΔHoR = -60 kJ/mol at 298 K here.
