Equilibrium at 425 K and 15 bar is established for the gas-phase isomerization reaction n-C 4 H

Question:

Equilibrium at 425 K and 15 bar is established for the gas-phase isomerization reaction

n-C4H10(g)  → iso-C4Η10(g)

Estimate the composition of the equilibrium mixture by two procedures:
(a) Assume an ideal-gas mixture.
(b) Assume an ideal solution with the equation of state given by Eq. (3.36).
Compare and discuss the results.
Data: For iso-butane, ΔH298 = −134,180 J·mol−1 ; ΔG298 = −20,760 J·mol−1

Eq. (3.36)
