The reaction between ethylene and hydrogen bromide to form ethyl bromide is carried out in a continuous reactor. the product stream is analyzed and found to contain 51.7 mole% c2h5br and 17.3% hbr. the feed to the reactor contains only ethylene and hydrogen bromide. calculate the fractional conversion of the limiting reactant and the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess. if the molar flow rate of the feed stream is 165mol/s, what is the extent of reaction?

Fractional conversion=0.749

Percentage by which the other reactant is in excess=16.56%

extent = 56.23 mol/s

Explanation:

reaction

$C_{2}H_{4} + HBr - - - C_{2}H_{5}Br$

molar composition of the product stream:

$C_{2}H_{5}Br$ = 51.7%

HBr = 17.3 %

when you add these two compositions you don't get 100% (69%) so there is also ethylene in the product stream.

$C_{2}H_{4}$ = 100% - 69% = 31%

We are going to suppose a flow rate in the product stream of 100 mol/s. Although you have a flow rate for the feed stream since you don't know the molar composition in the entrance is easier suppose a molar flow in the outlet.

with this information we can estimate the number of moles in the product stream as:

$mol_{i}=MF_{T}*molar-percentaje$

MF= total molar flow.

$C_{2}H_{5}Br = 100 \frac{m}{s}*0.517=51.7 mol/s$

HBr =17.3 mol/s

$C_{2}H_{4}$ = 31 mol/s

The stoichiometry for this reaction is 1: 1. With this information we can estimate the moles of each reagent in the feed stream. To produce 51.7 mol of $C_{2}H_{5}Br$ we needed 51.7 moles of HBr and $C_{2}H_{4}$ respectively.

$mol_{in}=mol_{used}+mol_{out}$

HBr = 51.7 mol + 17.3 mol =69 mol

$C_{2}H_{4}$ = 82.7 mol

with this we can see that the limit reagent in this reaction is HBr.

82.7 mol of $C_{2}H_{4}$ need the same number of mol of HBr but there is just 69 moles of this.

The molar composition in the inlet is:

HBr = $\frac{mol-HBr}{total-mol}*100=\frac{69}{69+82.7}*100$ = 45.4%

$C_{2}H_{4}$ = 100% - 45.4% = 54.51%

Fractional conversion of HBr (FC) = $\frac{mol_{used}}{mol_{in}}$

$=\frac{69 mol-17.3mol}{69 mol}= 0.749$

percentage of $C_{2}H_{4}$ in excess = $\frac{mol_{in}-mol_{needed}}{mol_{in}}*100=\frac{69 mol}{82.7}*100$ =16.56%

b. The extent of reaction (e) is defined as:

$e=\frac{n_{out}-n_{in}}{(+-)v}$

where n indicate the moles of a compound in the inlet (in) and in outlet (out) respectively and v is the stoichiometric coefficient for that compound in the reaction. It can be negative if it's a reagent or positive if it's a product.

In this case we have 165 mol/s a flow rate in the inlet. Assuming that the composition in the inlet and the fractional conversion are the same we have.

mol HBr (inlet) = 165 mol/s * 45.4% = 75.04 mol

$FC_{HBr}=\frac{mol_{in}-mol_{out}}{mol_{in}}$

mol HBr_{out}= $mol_{in}-mol_{in}*FC=75.04-75.04*0.749=18.81 mol$

v=-1

$e=\frac{18.81mol-75.04mol}{-1}=56.23 mol$

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
