Ethylene gas and steam at 420 °C and atmospheric pressure are fed to a reaction process as an equimolar mixture. The process produces ethanol by the reaction: C2H4(g) + H20(g) → C2H50H(1) The liquid ethanol exits the process at 150 °C. What is the heat transfer associated with this overall process per mole of ethanol produced?

The general principles of operation of an internal combustion reaction are well known: the combustion of fuel drives out a piston. It is possible to imagine engines that use reactions other than combustions, and it is then appropriate to assess the work they can do. A chemical reaction takes place in a container of cross-sectional area 100 cm2 ; the container has a piston at one end. As a result of the reaction, the piston is pushed out through 10.0 cm against a constant external pressure of 100 kPa. Calculate the work done by the system.
