An important industrial source of ethanol is the reaction, catalyzed by H3PO4, of steam with ethylene derived from oil: (a) At equilibrium, and Calculate . (b) Is the highest yield of ethanol obtained at high or low P? High or low T? (c) Calculate Kc at 450. K. (d) In NH3 manufacture, the yield is increased by condensing the NH3 to a liquid and removing it. Would condensing the C2H5OH have the same effect in ethanol production? Explain.
