Question
A mixture of ethylene and nitrogen is fed to a reactorin which some ofthe ethylene is dimerized to butene. 0.60 mol C2H4/mol 100 mol/s n1 mol C2H4/s n2 mol C4H8/s 0.40 mol N2/mol 2C2H4 C4H8 REACTOR n3 mol N2/s How many independent molecular species are involved in the process? How many independent atomic species are involved? Prove the latter claim by writing balances on C, H, and N.
Solution
The first step in solving 4.7b problem number 1 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A mixture of ethylene and nitrogen is fed to a reactorin which some ofthe ethylene is dimerized to butene. 0.60 mol C2H4/mol 100 mol/s n1 mol C2H4/s n2 mol C4H8/s 0.40 mol N2/mol 2C2H4 C4H8 REACTOR n3 mol N2/s How many independent molecular species are involved in the process? How many independent atomic species are involved? Prove the latter claim by writing balances on C, H, and N.
From the textbook chapter BALANCES ON REACTIVE PROCESSES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
