P5.21 You are interested in developing a process for converting glycerol (a byproduct of biodiesel production) to hydrogen. The gas-phase reaction is
C3H8O3+3H2O3CO2+7H2
You put 16.3 gmol water and 3.26 gmol glycerol into a batch laboratoryscale reactor, adjust the temperature to 200C and the pressure to 1.2atm. You allow the reaction to reach equilibrium, at which time you determine that the composition of the gas in the reactor is 17.83mol%H2O,0.29mol% glycerol, 24.56mol%CO2, and 57.31mol%H2. Use these results as well as values for hat(G)f and hat(H)f from App. B to find hat(G)f(kJgmol) of glycerol.
