Question:
Acetaldehyde is produced from ethanol by the following gas-phase reactions:
The reactions are carried out at 540°C and 1 bar pressure using a silver gauze catalyst and air as an oxidant. If 50% excess air [sufficient air that 50 percent more oxygen is present than is needed for all the ethanol to react by reaction (a)] is used, calculate the equilibrium composition of the reactor effluent.
