Redo Problem 13.1 using Aspen Plus.

Problem 13.1

Isopropyl alcohol is to be dehydrogenated in the gas phase to form propionaldehyde according to the reaction 

(CH3)2CHOH(g) = CH3CHCHO(g) + H(g) For this reaction, ArxnG (T= 298.15 K) = 17.74 kJ/(mol i-propanol reacted)

Compute the equilibrium fraction of isopropyl alcohol that would be dehydrogenated at 500 K and 1.013 bar.

(CH3)2CHOH(g) = CH3CHCHO(g) + H(g) For this reaction, Arxn G (T= 298.15 K) = 17.74 kJ/(mol i-propanol reacted) Arxn H (T = 298.15 K) = 55.48 kJ/(mol i-propanol reacted) and ArxnCp = VCp,i = 16.736 J/(mol i-propanol reacted K) vCp, i
