Question

P4.34 Ethylene glycol (HOCH₂CH₂OH), used as an antifreeze, is produced by reacting ethylene oxide with water. A side reaction produces an undesireable dimer, DEG: The reactor feed is 10 gmol/min ethylene oxide and 30 gmol/min water. If the fractional conversion of ethylene oxide is 0.92 and the selectivity is 0.85, what is the reactor outlet composition and the vield?
