The production of 1,3-butadiene can be carried out by the dehydrogenation of 1- butene: C2H5CH:CH2(g) CH2:CHCH:CH2(g)

Question:

The production of 1,3-butadiene can be carried out by the dehydrogenation of 1- butene:
C2H5CH:CH2(g) → CH2:CHCH:CH2(g) + H2(g)
Side reactions are suppressed by the introduction of steam. If equilibrium is attained at 950 K and 1 bar and if the reactor product contains 10-mol-% 1,3-butadiene, find:
(a) The mole fractions of the other species in the product gas.
(b) The mole fraction of steam required in the feed.
