Acetylene is produced from methane in the reaction: $2{\mathrm{CH}}_4(\mathrm{g})?{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_2(\mathrm{g})+3{\mathrm{H}}_2(\mathrm{g})$ An undesired side reaction is the decomposition of acetylene: ${\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_2(\mathrm{g})?2\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{s})+{\mathrm{H}}_2(\mathrm{g})$ isothermally at a constant pressure of $1\mathrm{atm}$. The fractional conversion of methane is 0.6 and the yield of acetylene is $0.417\mathrm{mol}{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_2/\mathrm{mol}{\mathrm{CH}}_4$ consumed. Determine the magnitude and direction of heat transferred for this reaction. Your answer should include the following: a. Used detailed specific enthalpy calculations (I should be able to clearly see how you calculated each of your ${\hat{H}}_i$ values) to determine the heat flow magnitude $(\mathrm{kJ}/\mathrm{mol}$ ethanol feed) and direction.
