For the cracking reaction,

the equilibrium conversion is negligible at room temperature but becomes appreciable at temperatures above 500 K. For a pressure of 1 bar, neglecting any side reactions, determine:

(a) The temperature where the conversion is 75%.

(b) The fractional conversion which would be obtained at 600 K if the feed to a reactor is 50 mol% propane and 50 mol% nitrogen (inert). (Consider the reaction to proceed to equilibrium.)
