4. Consider the production of ethylene from the decomposition of ethane as shown in the following reaction:

\[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_6 \, (\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 \, (\text{g}) + \text{H}_2 \, (\text{g}) \]

What is the maximum possible conversion at a temperature of 1000º C and a pressure of 1 bar? Assume \(\Delta H^\circ_{\text{rxn}}\) to be constant.
