Question
Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant and the equilibrium composition of the product gas at 1000 K for the following homogenous gas-phase reaction:
C3H8 + 3 H2O ↔ 3 CO + 7 H2
Steam is fed to the reactor in a 1-to-8 ratio and the reactor is operating at atmospheric pressure.
Not assume constant heat capacity values. Use Cp as a function of temperature given in Appendix C in the textbook.
