However, some of the products are converted to diethyl ether according to the second reaction. C2H4 + H20 – C,H;0H 2C2H;OH - (C2H5)20 + H20 The feed to the reactor contains ethylene, steam, and N2. An effluent analysis is given in the following table: C2H4 39.12 H2O CH;OH 2.95 (C2H3)20 Component %mol With a basis of 100 kmol of effluent, determine the following: N2 45.08 0.27 12.58 b. (. ) Determine the fractional conversion of ethylene.
