The reaction between ethylene and hydrogen bromide to form ethyl bromide is carried out in a continuous reactors. The product stream is analyzed and is found to contain 50 mole % C2H5Br and 33.3 % HBr. The feed to the reactor contains only ethylene and hydrogen bromide.

What would be the fractional conversion of the limiting reactant and the percentage by which the other reactant is said to be its excess.

Ethylene oxide (C2H4O) is made by the catalytic reaction between ethylene (C2H4) and oxygen.Fresh ethylene, pure oxygen, and recycled ethylene are mixed to give a reactor feed gas containing 55%C2H4 which enters the reactor at 1 atm absolute and 300 oC. From test experiments, the single-pass conversion of ethylene in the reactor is 54% and, of this, 72% goes to ethylene oxide and the balance decomposes to CO2 and H2O. Most of the unreacted ethylene is separated from the reactor...

A) The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water is highly exothermic. Which statement is true of the energies of the bonds that break and form during the reaction? The energy needed to break the required bonds is about the same as the energy released when the new bonds form. The energy needed to break the required bonds is less than the energy released when the new bonds form. The energy needed to break the required bonds is greater...

The production of ethylbenzene, a very popular industrial chemical, is carried out reacting benzene with ethylene in liquid phase. This reaction takes place in a series of reactors that involve multiple side reactions and intermediates. Ethylene, being the limiting reactant, is used up first and hence a considerable amount of benzene remains unreacted. From one of the reactors in the series, the exit stream is a mixture of this unreacted benzene (1), an intermediate – toluene (2), and the product...
