Solved: The thermal decomposition of ethylene occurs in

Chapter 5, Problem 5.104

(choose chapter or problem)

The thermal decomposition of ethylene occurs in many industrial contexts, for example, during ethylene transit in pipelines, formation of polyethylene, drying of the gas, and separating it from impurities. The decomposition reaction is Assume that the decomposition begins at 10 C and 50.0 atm with a gas density of 0.215 g/mL and the temperature increases by 950 K. (a) What is the final pressure of the confined gas (ignore the volume of graphite and use the van der Waals equation)? (b) How does the PV/RT value of CH4 compare to that in Figure 5.21? Explain.
