Q1) Ethanol is produced commercially by the hydration of ethylene: C2H4+H2OC2H5OH Some of the product is converted to diethyl ether in the side reaction: 2C2H5OH(C2H5)2O+H2O The feed to the reactor contains ethylene, steam, and an inert gas. A sample of the reactor effluent gas is analyzed and found to contain 43.3 mole % ethylene, 2.5% ethanol, 0.14% ether, 9.3% inerts, and the balance water. a) Take as a basis 100mol of effluent gas, draw and label a flowchart, and do a degree-offreedom analysis based on atomic species to prove that the system has zero degrees of freedom
