Question

Acetylene is hyrodgenated to form ethane. The feed to the reactor contains 1.70 mol H2/mol C2H2. The reaction proceeds to completion a. Calculate the stoichiometric reactant ratio (mol H2 reacted/mol C2H2 reacted) and the yield ratio (mol C2Hs formed/mol H2 reacted) mol H2 reacted/mol C2H2 reacted mol C2Hg formed/mol H2 reacted b. Determine the percentage by which acetylene is in excess. c. Calculate the mass feed rate of hydrogen (kg/s) required to produce 6.00 x 10s metric tons of ethane per year, assuming that the reaction goes to completion and that the process operates for 24 hours a day, 300 days a year kg/s
