However, some of the products are converted to diethyl ether according to the second reaction. C2H4 + H20 – C,H;0H 2C2H5OH - (C,H5)20 + H20 The feed to the reactor contains ethylene, steam, and N2 An effluent analysis is given in the following table: (C2H5)20 Component %mol With a basis of 100 kmol of effluent, determine the following: C2H4 39.12 H2O C,H;OH N2 45.08 2.95 0.27 12.58 Determine the fractional conversion of the excess reactant at maximum extent of the desired reaction.
