Q2 In the catalytic dehydrogenation of acetylene, the following two reactions are expected to occur simultaneously in the reactor at
1500K
and 1 bar
C_(2)H_(2)->2C+H_(2) Eq A
2C+2H_(2)->C_(2)H_(4) Eq B
At these conditions, the equilibrium constant of reaction
A
and
B
are
K_(A)=5.2
and
K_(B)=0.1923
. Assuming that the reaction mixture behaves like an ideal gas, determine the composition in the reactor effluent.
