In the production of ethanol by the hydrolysis of ethylene, diethyl ether is produced as a

by-product. A typical feed stream composition is: 55 per cent ethylene, 5 per cent inerts,

40 per cent water; and product stream: 52.26 per cent ethylene, 5.49 per cent ethanol, 0.16

per cent ether, 36.81 per cent water, 5.28 per cent inerts. Calculate the yield of ethanol

and ether based on ethylene.
