We would like to produce hydrogen through the following reaction using a bed of activated carbon at 1100 K and 55 kPa: C(s) + H2O(g)→ H2(g) + CO(g)C(s) + H2O(g)→ H2(g) + CO(g ) a) At equilibrium, obtain the reaction extent if the reaction enthalpy change is constant and there is a large excess of carbon in the reaction. [3 Points] b) Please provide justifications why the reaction occurs at 50 kPa instead of 1 atm. [2.5 Points] c) What can be the most important reason that the assumption constant heat of reaction might not be valid? [2 Points] d) Obtain the equilibrium constant, and the mole fraction and fugacity of hydrogen at equilibrium condition if we have the following reaction for hydrogen production: [4 Points] 2C(s) + 2H2O(g)+2H2(g) + 2CO(g)2C(s) + 2H2O(g)+2H2( g) + 2CO(g) e) It is also believed that CO2CO2 might be also produced when water vapor passes through the bed. Obtain the amount of produced hydrogen (mole) per every mole of water if the reaction producing carbon dioxide is also considered.
