Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.106CHP
Refining petroleum involves cracking large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more volatile pieces. A simple example of hydrocarbon cracking is the gas-phase thermal decomposition of butane to give ethane and ethylene:
- (a) Write the equilibrium-constant expressions for Kp and Kc.
- (b) The value of Kp at 500°C is 12. What is the value of Kc?
- (c) A sample of butane having a pressure of 50 atm is heated at 500°C in a closed container at constant volume. When equilibrium is reached, what percentage of the butane has been converted to ethane and ethylene? What is the total pressure at equilibrium?
- (d) How would the percent conversion in part (c) be affected by a decrease in volume.
