Chapter 12, Problem 12.102PAE
12.102 A chemical engineer is working to optimize the production of acrylonitrile to be used in the manufacture of carbon fibers. The reaction being used is the combination of propene gas, ammonia, and oxygen. The reaction is normally carried out at moderately high temperatures so all species are in the gas phase.
(a) Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction.
(b) The boiling point of acrylonitrile is 77 °C, and that of propene is -48 °C. What would the equilibrium expression be if this reaction were carried out at room temperature?
(c) What characteristic of this reaction might cause the engineer to desire carrying out this reaction at room temperature?

An unknown element, X, combines with chlorine to give a substance with the formula
XC14. A chlorine analysis of the substance indicates that it contains 83.47% chlorine by mass.
What element is X and what is the formula of this compound?
(Hint: to identify an element or compound, identify its molar mass. Remember that Molar Mass
= (grams A)/(moles A). Solve for each individually and then divide them to find molar mass.)
