Question

A gaseous stream of ethanol (6 mol/h), hydrogen (1 mol/h) is introduced into a plug flow reactor. In the reactor, the ethanol reacts to form acetaldehyde and hydrogen. The reaction

proceeds to equilibrium. 1. Write out the reaction with formulas. 2. Calculate the Ago at 298 K. Use data from the appendix. 3.Calculate the Ah° at 298 K. 4. Calculate the K at 298 K. 5. Calculate the { at 298 K. You can assume that the reactor is ideal and that the total pressure is 1bar.
