Question: 1 3 . 5 . A gas mixture containing 3 0 % C 2 H 4 and 7 0 % H 2 O is formed

13.5. A gas mixture containing 30% C2H4 and 70% H2O is formed according to the following reaction. It reacts to obtain ethanol. C2H4(g)+ H2O (g) C2H5OH (g) If the reaction is carried out under conditions of 400 K and atmospheric pressure, in equilibrium It was determined that 4.57 kmol C2H5OH was formed (based on 100 kmol gas mixture). Aforementioned For the reaction to be industrially applicable, at least 10.5 kmol ethanol compound must be formed. the reaction in question to the target amount of product. It can only be operated at a temperature of 400 K and the maximum operating pressure value is It reveals whether it can be carried out in a reactor where 5 atm is available. put it. Assume that the gas mixture in equilibrium exhibits ideal gas behavior.
