For the reaction C_(2)H_(6)(g)hArrC_(2)H_(4)(g)+H_(2)(g),DeltaG^(@)=22.38KJ mol^(-1)" at "900K. If pure C_(2)H_(6) is passed over a suitable catalyst at a temperature of 900 K and a pressure of 1.0 atmosphere, then calculate X. Where X=100xx"mole percent of hydrogen present at equilibrium". [Antilog(1.299=0.05)]

Answer»


Solution :`DELTAG^(@)=-RTlnK_(p)" or "DeltaG^(@)=-RT.2.303logK_(p)`
Or `K_(p)="antilog"[-(DeltaG^(@))/(2.303RT)]="antilog"[-(22.38xx10^(3)J)/((2.303)(8.314)(900))]`
`K_(p)="antilog"[-1.299]`
`K_(p)=0.050`
`{:("Now,"""C_(2)H_(6)(g)hArrC_(2)H_(4)(g)+H_(2)(g)),("At equilibrium,"""(C-Calpha)""Calpha""Calpha):}`
where 'C' is the initial concentration of `C_(2)H_(6).`
Total moles at equilibrium `=C-Calpha+Calpha+Calpha=C+Calpha=C(1+alpha)`
THEREFORE, the partial PRESSURE of `C_(2)H_(6)=(1-alpha)/(1+alpha).P`
partial pressure of `H_(2)=(alpha)/(1+alpha).P`
`K_(P)=0.050=([(alpha)/(1+alpha).P]^(2))/([(1-alpha)/(1+alpha)].P)=(alpha^(2))/((1+alpha)(1-alpha)).P=(alpha^(2))/(1-alpha^(2)).P`
Then, `K_(p)=0.050=(alpha^(2))/(1+alpha^(2)).1" or "alpha=0.2182`
Mole percent of `H_(2)=(alpha)/(1+alpha)xx100=(0.2182)/(1.2182)xx100=17.91`
`X=17.91xx100=1791` Ans.
