Expert Solution

Answer – We are given, reaction –

C2H4(g) + H2O(g) <---> C2H5OH(g) ∆H = -47.8 kJ Kc = 9.00*103 T= 600. K

At equilibrium, PC2H5OH = 200. atm & PH2O = 400. Atm

First we need to calculate the Kp form the Kc

Kp = Kc (RT)∆n

We know,

∆n = sum of the moles of the product – reactant

     = 1 – 2 = -1

Kp = 9.00*103 *(0.0821 *600)-1

      =182.7

Now we know

Kp = PH2O * PC2H4 / PC2H5OH

   182.7    = 400.0 atm * PC2H4 /200.0 atm

182.7*200 = 400* PC2H4 /

36540 = 400* PC2H4

PC2H4 = 91.35 atm

b) We are given the negative enthalpy of reaction and we calculated the Kp of the reaction. We know when negative enthalpy then it is exothermic reaction, so as we increase the temp there is decrease the product. We also know when we increase the pressure the equilibrium will shift towards the fewer moles of side, so at the conditions pressure is high and temperature low gives highest yield of product.
