Ethylene oxide (EO) is prepared by the vapor-phase oxidation of ethylene. Its main uses are in the preparation of the antifreeze ethylene glycol and in the production of poly(ethylene terephthalate), which is used to make beverage bottles and fibers. Pure EO vapor can decompose explosively: H,C-CH2(g) → CH(g) + CO(g) Liquid EO has AH = -77.4 kJ/mol and AH ° for its vaporization = 569.4 %3D %3D J/g. External heating causes the vapor to decompose at 14.528 bar and 92.4°C in a distillation column. What is the final temperature if 1.932 mols of EO reacted and the average specific heat capacity of the products is 2.769 J/g.°C?
