Butadiene can be formed by dehydrogenation of n-butane: C 4 H 10 C 4 H 6
Question:
Butadiene can be formed by dehydrogenation of n-butane:
C4 H10 ↔ C4 H6 + 2H2
This reaction is carried out in the gas phase.
A. Calculate the equilibrium constant of this reaction at K298.15.
B. A closed-system reactor initially contains 1 mole of n-butane. If the reactor is maintained at T = 298.15 K and P = 1 bar, determine the contents of the reactor at equilibrium.
C. A closed-system reactor initially contains 1 mole of butadiene and 1 mole of hydrogen. The reactor is maintained at P = 1 bar, and a constant temperature at which the reaction has KT = 50. Determine the contents of the reactor at equilibrium.
Assume ideal gas behavior for parts B and C.
