Question:

When propane is heated to high temperatures, it pyrolyzes or decomposes. Assume that the only reactions that occur are 

C3H8 = C3H6 + H C3H8 = CH4 + CH4

and that these reactions take place in the gas phase. 

a. Calculate the composition of the equilibrium mixture of propane and its pyrolysis products at a pressure of 1 bar and over a temperature range of 1000 to 2000 K. 

b. Calculate the composition of the equilibrium mixture of propane and its pyrolysis products over a temperature range of 1000 to 2000 K if pure propane at 25°C and 1 bar is loaded into a constant-volume (bomb) reactor and heated.
