Question 1: Consider a process for the catalytic hydration (i. e. H2O addition) of ethylene (C2H4) to form ethyl alcohol (C2H6O). In this process, the single pass conversion through the catalytic reactor is only 4.5%. To improve overall conversion, a recycle strategy is used. The product from the reactor is condensed after leaving the reactor and the unconverted gases are recycled. The condenser may be assumed to remove all of the alcohol from the product stream and the recycle gasses contain 6.5 mol% water vapor. The molar ratio of water to ethylene in the feed to the reactor (i. e. after the fresh feed mixes with recycled gasses) is 0.55.Using this process, calculate: a)The fraction of the water entering the condenser that leaves in the ethanol product stream(calculating this fraction on a mole basis).b)The ratio of ethylene recycled to the reactor compared to the amount in the fresh feed(calculating this ratio on a mole basis).c)The overall conversion of ethylene.

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. an industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 25.0l tank with 4.5 mol of sulfur dioxide gas and 4.5 mol of oxygen gas at 30.°c. he then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.4 mol. calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen at the final temperature of the mixture. round your answer to 2 significant digits.
