Question

2) Ethanal is a compound commonly used in the production of perfumes and is normally extracted from plants. A clever chemical engineer has decided that they can use excess methane in a refinery and undesirable carbon monoxide to produce large quantities cheaply using the following reaction: CH4 (g)CO (g) CH3CHO (g) Reactants are fed to the reactor at equimolar concentrations but with nitrogen at 4 mols per CO (to control the rate of reaction via heat absorption as an inert). The reaction takes place at 260°C and 100 bar. Under these conditions, the system behaves as an ideal solution, but NOT as ideal gases. Determine the following: a) Equations for all components in the final mixture as functions of extent of reaction b) The final equilibrium concentrations for all components Note: You must state and justify all simplifying assumptions
