The reaction between ethylene and hydrogen bromide to form ethyl bromide is carried out in a continuous reactor. The product str

eam is analyzed and found to contain 58.7 mol% C2H5Br and 18.3 mol% HBr. The feed to the reactor conains 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 305 mol/s, what is the extent of reaction

Answer:

Explanation:

The first thing to do is to write out the chemical equation showing the reaction between the two chemical compounds.

C2H4 + HBr ------------------------> C2H5Br.

The chemical species/compounds reacted in the ratio of 1 : 1 : 1. That is one mole of C2H4 reacted with one mole of HBr to give one mole of C2H5Br.

So, we are given; C2H5Br = 58.7 mol%, HBr = 18.3 mol%. Thus, for C2H4, we have [ 100 - (58.7 + 18.3)] = 23 mol%. Therefore, the limiting reagent is HBr.

So, if we have 100 mol/s ;

C2H5Br = 100 × 0.587 = 58.7 mol/s, HBr = 100 × 0.183 = 18.3 mol/s and C2H4 = 100 × 0.23 = 23 mol/s.

Therefore, the total value of the flow rate in the feed = (HBr in feed) mol/s + (C2H4 in feed) mol/s = (58.7 + 18.3)mol/s + (58.7 + 23) mol/s =( 77 + 81.7) mol/s = 158.7 mol/s. .

So, 100/158.7 × 30.5 = 192.2.

Also the feed composition in HBr and C2H4 is;

HBr = 77/158.7 = 0.4852, C2H4 = 81.7/158.7 = 0.515.

Therefore, the number of HBr in feed and C2H4 in feed = 160m/s and 200m/s respectively (approx.)

Therefore, the fraction conversion is;

Answer:

See explanations

Explanation:

Stoichiometry is very easy to master if you understand the ‘mole concept’ and how it is used to define and describe chemical process mathematically. A ‘mole’ – in chemistry – is the mass of substance containing one Avogadro’s Number of particles. That is, N₀ = 6.023 x 10²³ particles / mole. When working with chemical reactions and equations data should be first converted to moles using the following conversations:

1 mole = 1 formula weight = 6.023 x 10²³ particles = 22.4 liters at STP(0⁰, 1atm).

In this problem you are given the equation Na + H₂O => NaOH + H₂. ‘Reading the equation’ there is 1 mole of Na, 1 mole of water, 1 mole of NaOH and 1 mole of H₂. In another example 3H₂ + N₂ => 2NH₃ there are 3 moles of H₂, 1 mole of N₂ and 2 moles of NH₃. The mole values can be multiples or fractions but if one mole value increases all the remaining mole values increase or decrease proportionally. For example:

Using the equation Na + H₂O => NaOH + H₂, one could apply a 2 before the Na but all the following formulas would need be increased by a factor of 2. If one applies ½ to the Na then all the following formulas would need be cut in half also and the reaction stoichiometry would still be valid. The fact that the equation is written with coefficients of 1 is that it is in the smallest whole number ratio of coefficients. This then implies the reaction formula is in ‘standard form’. This also implies the equation conditions are at 0⁰C & 1atm pressure and 1 mole of any gas phase substance occupies 22.4 Liters volume. Such is the significance of converting given data to moles as all other substance mass (in moles) are proportional.  

For your 1st problem, 1.76 x 10²⁴ formula units of Na will react with water (usually read as an excess) to produce (?) grams of H₂.

1st write the equation followed by listing the givens below the respective formulas… That is…

                         Na                      +            H₂O       => NaOH    +         H₂,

Given:      1.76 x 10²⁴ atoms                excess             ---------          ? grams

Convert atoms Na to moles = 1.76 x 10²⁴atoms/6.023 x 10²³atoms/mole

=2.922moles Na produces=>2.922moles H₂(because moles Na=moles H₂).

Convert moles to grams =>2.922moles H₂  x  2.000 grams H₂/mole H₂

=5.8443 grams H₂  

2nd problem, 3.5 moles Na will react with H₂O (in excess) to produce (?) moles of NaOH.

Again write equation and assign values to each formula unit in the equation.

                         Na                      +            H₂O        =>           NaOH    +    H₂,

Given:            3.5moles                       excess                      ? grams       ----

Since coefficients of balanced std equation are equal then moles Na equals moles of NaOH, that is, 3.5 moles Na produces => 3.5 moles NaOH

Convert moles NaOH to grams => 3.5 moles NaOH x 40 g NaOH/mole NaOH =  140 grams NaOH    

3rd problem, 2.75 x 10²⁵ molecules H₂O will react with (?) atoms of Na.

Same procedure, convert to moles, solve problem by ratios then convert to needed dimension at end of problem.

                         Na          +            H₂O                              =>       NaOH    +    H₂

Given:           ? atoms          2.75 x 10²⁵ molecules H₂O    =>     NaOH  + H₂  

Convert to moles =>  2.75 x 10²⁵ molecules H₂O / 6.023 x 10²³ molecules H₂O/mole H₂O = 45.658 moles H₂O =>  45.658 moles Na (equal coefficients)

Convert moles Na to atoms Na  =>   45.658 moles Na x 6.023 x 10²³atoms Na/mole Na = 2.75 x 10²⁵ atoms Na.

Note => Problem 3 could have been solved by inspection b/c coefficients are equal, however, always go through a process that you can justify and defend even if it does take longer. Never assume anything. Depend on what you know, not what you 'think' you know.  

Master the mole concept and you master a lot of chemistry! Good luck.
