7. Acetic acid (CH-COOH) is cracked to produce the intermediate ketene (CH-CO(g) in a furnace. CH,COOH(g)- CH CO(g)+ H20(8)) AH(298K)-132 kJ/mol + The following side reaction also occurs to an appreciable extent CH,COOH(g)-CH (8)+ CO2(8) C AHx(298K)--33.53 kJ/mol
A conversion of acetic acid is 80% and a fractional yield of ketene is 0.0722. Yield is defined as the mole of ketene formed / the maximum ketene would be obtained when all reactant completely consumed without side reaction a Complete mass balance calculation. b. Calculate required furnace heating rate for a furnace feed of 100 mol/h acetic acid by using Heat of Reaction Method. The temperature of the feed is 300\deg C and the temperature of the products is 700\deg C. C. Data in J/K Tin K Acetic acid (CH3COOH(8)) Cp6.899+0.257 T Ketene (CH3COg)) Cp 17.2+0.123T Metan CH (8) Cp 38.38-0.00736 T Water H20(8) Cp 34-0.00965 T Carbondioxide CO2(g) Cp 19+0.0796 T
