We will simplify the problem by assuming the gaseous reaction mixture behaves ideally. This
assumption is valid since the temperature is 1300 K and the pressure is 1 bar. We first need to
obtain expressions for H , TS , and G :
H H H 0 n I hI n I 2 hI 2 n I0 h I 2

n I 2 nI 2 1
Therefore,

H 2 hI 1 hI 2 hI 2 2 hI hI 2

For entropy, we must also include the entropy of mixing term after the reaction has commenced:

So

S 2 sI sI 2 R nI ln yI nI 2 ln yI2

or

:
We can find the change in Gibbs energy from its definition:

The purpose of the first reactor is to increase the speed the reaction process. At higher
temperatures, more collisions occur with sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy of
the reaction. However, as the temperature increases, the conversion decreases. The second
reactor increases the conversion.
(c)
Less product will be obtained if the pressure decreases. This becomes clear be rearranging the
expression for equilibrium:

Therefore, as the left-hand side decreases due to lower pressures, the right hand-side decreases
correspondingly resulting in a lower extent of reaction.
(d)
Addition of inert will cause the yield to decrease. The inert molecules interfere with collisions
between reactant molecules. In other words, the reactant molecules collide less frequently.
Dilution is not recommended.

i. Decreasing the pressure will reduce the minimum temperature because the pressure appears in
the numerator. As the pressure is decreased, the required equilibrium constant decreases.
ii. Diluting the feed stream will decrease the required minimum temperature. For this proposed
ratio, the mole fraction of hydrogen essentially remains constant at one despite the reaction.
Therefore, the equilibrium constant becomes equal in magnitude to the pressure, which is less
than the equilibrium constant in Part (a). Therefore, the temperature can be lower.

Both the model containing the dimerization reaction and the colleagues model represent the

Since the colleagues model will always predict more moles of A in the liquid phase than the
total number of moles, the model can only predict positive deviations from ideality. However,
solvation reactions can be used to predict negative deviations.

At the process conditions, a higher conversion can never be achieved. Equilibrium is the upper

kinetics. Kinetic considerations may result in lower conversions.

decrease the pressure since the pressure term appears in the numerator of the expression for the

order to maximize conversion. However, in a real reactor it is better to change pressure because
you want to keep the temperature high for kinetic reasons.
45
(g)
The addition of inerts would lower the conversion. This becomes apparent mathematically by
examining the expressions for the mole fractions in the equilibrium constant equation. However,
it can also be explained physically. The inert molecules block the collisions between gaseous
reactant molecules (more gaseous reactant molecules than gaseous product molecules), so fewer
reactions occur, and the overall conversion is less.

A sketch of the process follows:
We first have to determine the chemical reaction occurring. No other species are involved in the
reaction, so lets look at the possibilities. To make H2O we need to react H2 with one or both of
the oxygen containing components. Reacting CO with H2 to produce H2O would also produce
C, which is not an option. Therefore, the reaction for our system must be:
grxn,298 = 28.62 10
hrxn,298 = 41.16 10
KT =K298 exp
. .
KT =exp exp
. .
Next, lets examine the number of moles of each species as a function of the extent of a reaction:

nCO 2 1 2+
nT 4 0 4

. .
K= 2.67

Now set sides of our equilibrium constant equation equal to each other and solve for T.

First, write out the expressions for the moles of each species as a function of the extent of
reaction, . From these, we calculate the gas-phase mole fractions:
nA nA 1 1

nC 1 mole
(b)
Looking at the expression for K given above, we can write:
K 4 2
P 1 2
g rxn
Recall that we can also write the equilibrium constant as K e RT
(a constant at any T).
Since K is constant at any given temperature, and the expression in the right hand side is greater
than one for all physically valid conversions (what is the domain of ?), a lower P will generate
a higher conversion (or ).

You wish to generate H2 through a gas-phase reaction of pentane with steam. The feed is 1 mole
C5H12 per 10 moles of water, at 0.5 bar. You need 98% conversion.
(a) Calculate the minimum temperature to achieve 98% conversion (assuming hrxn
is constant).
5 CO + 11 H 2
C5 H12 + 5 H 2 O
(1) (2) (3) (4)
The feed has molar compositions n1 1 mole and n2 10 mole . Writing the mole balances for
the four individual species lets us find the overall molar change as a function of :
n1 1
n2 10 5
n3 5
n4 11
nTv 11 10
Since we know that 0.98 (from the problem statement), we can compute the gas-phase mole
fractions for each component:
n1 0.02 y1 0.000962
n2 5.1 y2 0.245
n3 4.9 y3 0.236
n4 10.78 y4 0.518
n 20.8 moles
v
T P 0.5 bar
Write an expression for the equilibrium constant, KT, of the mixture at the unknown temperature:
The K value above doesnt have any temperature dependence. This will come from the enthalpy
of formation in the next steps. From Appendix A.3, we can tabulate the standard Gibbs energy
and enthalpy of formation for each species in the gas phase:
52
i Species g f ,298 K kJ/mol hf ,298 K kJ/mol
-1 C5H12 - 8.37 -146.54
+5 CO - 137.17 -110.53
-5 H2O - 228.57 -241.82
Next, calculate the Gibbs energy and heat of reaction of the overall reaction, and the equilibrium
constant K for the reaction (note that this K is different from the K we computed from the gas-
phase composition above):
h

2.66 10 .
RT
Note that the K value is for equilibrium the reference temperature, 298K, but unless were really
lucky (hint: dont bet on it), the reaction is probably not occurring at exactly that temperature.
What does the magnitude of K298 tell you about how much pentane will react at room
temperature?
We can introduce the temperature dependency by correcting the K value using Equation 9.21:
KT hrxn
,298 1 1
ln .
K 298 R T 298
Substituting the values of KT and K298 provides an equation with only one unknown: T.
802,990 J/mol 1 1
180.4
8.314 J/mol K T 298
Solving for the unknown T, we find that the reaction temperature must be
T 672 K 400C
(b) In Part (a), we made the implicit assumption that the enthalpy of reaction is not a function of
temperature. While this may be justifiable for a small deviation from the reference temperature,
we are operating 375C higher than the reference. We could achieve much better accuracy by
taking into account the change in the enthalpy of reaction as the temperature changes. To do this,
we would need to use the (admittedly unwieldly) Equation 9.24 from the text. We would need
the heat capacity constants for each species, from Appendix A.2:
Species A B C D E
C5H12 2.464 45.351x10-3 -14.111 x10-6 0 0
H2O 3.470 1.45 x10-3 0 0.121 x105 0
CO 3.376 0.557 x10-3 0 -0.031 x105 0
53
(c) The reaction stoichiometry shows that every mole of pentane gas reacted produces a net
increase of 10 moles of gas in the reactor.
5 CO + 11 H 2
C5 H12 + 5 H 2 O
n = 6 moles n = 16 moles
Assuming the reactor has a fixed volume and temperature, this would cause a net increase in
pressure as the reaction proceeds (P = nRT/V).
Using LeChateliers Principle, a decrease in the system pressure will drive the reaction to the
right, producing more H2 and CO than at higher pressures.
While it may be preferable from an equilibrium standpoint to operate at low pressures, keep in
mind that the reaction rates will increase dramatically with pressure (why?), so that it may be
more economical to operate at different temperatures or pressures. Again, equilibrium does not
determine the reaction kinetics (or process economics).
(d) Separation could be achieved in many ways. The following process is one possibility. We
will use liquid-liquid separation (settling) of the cooled vapor effluent to remove pentane and
water from the gas stream. The remaining hydrogen and carbon monoxide can be separated by
cryogenic distillation (note the large difference in boiling points between the two gases).

Since the pressure is 1 bar, we can assume the vapor phase is ideal. Also assume the fugacities
of the solids in the mixture equal their respective pure solid fugacities. The expression for the
equilibrium constant reduces to

Now, we need to create expressions for the mole fractions containing the extent of reaction. If
we take one mole of H2 and one mole of CrCl2 as the basis, the equations for the number of
moles of each species are

Since pressure is in the denominator of the left-hand side, we want to reduce pressure to increase
extent of reaction. The reduction in pressure can also be reasoned by employing Le Chteliers
principle. There are more product gas molecules, so as you reduce pressure, the product side
will be favored.

The following two cracking reactions for n-pentane occur in parallel:
At 183 C and 0.5 bar, both these reactions contribute to the equilibrium composition of species
in the system. For every 1.0 mole of n-pentane gas initially fed, 0.10 mol of polypropylene
(C3H6) is formed at equilibrium from Reaction I. Calculate the equilibrium amount of trans-2-
butene formed per mole of pentane fed. You may assume that for each reaction does not
change with temperature.
First we take a molar basis of 1 mole of pentane in the feed. Next we can find thermochemical
data for our reactions.

Now, reading the problem statement carefully reveals that for every 1.0 mole of n-pentane fed,
0.10 moles of propylene are produced from Reaction I. The number of moles of propylene
produced at equilibrium is equal to the extent of Reaction I.

Next lets fine the equilibrium constants in terms of the extent of reactions.

Now we can find the amount of trans-2-butene formed per mole of pentane fed. Since we took a
molar basis of 1 mole of pentane fed, the amount of trans-2-butene formed is simply equal to the
extent of reaction for Reaction II.

Note that Equations (2), (3) and (4) are not independent and we only need two of these to
constrain the system. In the solution presented here, we use (2) and (4), but any other 2 could be
chosen. Electroneutrality gives:

We take V A n and VB p , so electroneutrality gives:

Region 2: intermediate pB2 In the region of intermediate pB2 , we assume that the
concentration of electronic defects is greater than the vacancy concentration, so
We take V A n and VB p , so electroneutrality gives:

In region 1, we have low pB so we take VB p and n Bi , and Equation (9) reduces to

The conductivity decreases as the oxygen partial pressure increases. An increase in the oxygen
partial pressure by 10 causes a decrease in n by 0.56.
