Chemical eng. thermodynamics:
The catalytic reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen was conducted in a gas phase for the production of methanol according to following reaction:
CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g)
The equilibrium conversion to methanol is large at 300K, but it decreases rapidly with increasing temperature. However, reaction rates become appreciable only at higher temperatures. For a feed mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the stoichiometric proportions, answer the followings:
(a) What is the equilibrium mole fractions of reactants and products at 1 bar and 300K by assuming ideal gas?
(b) What is the equilibrium mole fractions of reactants and products at 1 bar and 300K by assuming ideal solution of gases?
(c) At what temperature does the equilibrium mole fraction of methanol equal 0.50 for a pressure of 100 bar, assuming the equilibrium mixture is an ideal gas?
