Ethylene oxide is formed by the partial oxidation of ethylene. Unfortunately some of the ethylene is completely oxidized to form CO2 and H2O. The reactions are
2C2H4 + O2 --> 2C2H4O (desired product)
C2H4 + 3O2 --> 2CO2 (undesired product) + 2H2O
A feed stream comprised of 16 moles C2H4 and 100 moles O2. 25% of the ethylene is converted with a yield of 75% (Defined by mole C2H4O/mol C2H4 reacted).
a. Draw a schematic of this process
b. Find the output of the reactor.
c. What is the selectivity of the process

It is also a by-product of copper extraction and the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) that are contaminated with sulfur compounds. This leads to sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere. Sulfur trioxide, a product of sulfur dioxide, is also a pollutant, as well as a component in acid rain. Consider the following reaction at equilibrium for the questions below: 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2SO3 (g) f. Is the product that is produced from this reaction polar or non-polar? g. Identify the type(s) of intermolecular forces that are present in the product that is produced from this reaction. h. Write the equilibrium-constant expression (Kp) for the given equilibrium reaction, which is taking place in the production of sulfur trioxide. i. Consider the equilibrium reaction given above.

A small amount of cyclohexylamine is produced as a by-product. Nitrobenzene is fed to the reactor as a vapor with three times the required stoichiometric amount of hydrogen. The conversion of nitrobenzene to the products is 96% and the selectivity to aniline is 85%. Unreacted hydrogen is separated from the reaction products and recycled to the reactor. From the recycle line it is purged to keep the inerts in the recycle stream below 5%. The fresh hydrogen that is fed is 99.5% pure and the rest is inert. Calculate the adiabatic outlet temperature of the reaction products and indicate the relationship with respect to the reference temperature (298.15) (in K):arrow_forward
