Ethylene oxide is prepared by oxidation of ethylene. 100 kmol of ethylene and 100 kmol of O2 are charged to a reactor. The percent conversion of ethylene is 85 and percent yield of C2H4O is 94.12. Calculate the composition of product steam leaving the reactor. The reactions taking place are : C2H4 + ½ O2 > C2H4O C2H4 = 3 O2 → 2 CO2 + 2 H2O

Question
ethylene oxide is prepared by oxidation of ethylene. 100Kmol of ethylene and 100Kmol of O2 are charged to a reactor.The percent conversion of ethylene is 85 and percent yield of C2H4O is 94.12. Calculate the composition of product steam leaving the reactor .The reactions taking place are:
C2H4+0.5O2=C2H4O
C2H4+3O2= 2CO2+2H2O
 
Ethylene oxide is prepared by oxidation of ethylene. 100 kmol
of ethylene and 100 kmol of O2 are charged to a reactor. The
percent conversion of ethylene is 85 and percent yield of C2H4O
is 94.12. Calculate the composition of product steam leaving the
reactor. The reactions taking place are :
C2H4 + ½ O2 > C2H4O
C2H4 = 3 O2 → 2 CO2 + 2 H2O
