Consider the reaction of furfural (1) and butanol (2) reacting to form furfuryl alcohol (3) andb utyraldehyde (4). This reaction is important in the context of biomass upgrading, to form

fuels and chemicals from platform molecules and is usually run in the liquid phase using an MgAl;O9 catalyst. Calculate the Ag° and the K of the reaction at 298 and at 433 K. Use data from NIST for enthalpies and entropies at 298 K. Remember, Ag° = Ahº-T Asº. You may assume that the enthalpy change of the reaction is constant. Calculate the Agº and the K of the reaction at 298 and at 433 K using data from the Yaws handbook. Calculate the extent of the reaction at 433 K, if initially there are 2 mol of furfural and 1 molof butanol in the system, assuming the system is an ideal solution of x1 = 0.2 and x2 = 0.1 in toluene.
