Please show steps and Explanation Question # 6 2 Propylene glycol is produced by the hydrolysis of propylene oxide ( PO ) in the liquid

Please show steps and Explanation
Question # 62
Propylene glycol is produced by the hydrolysis of propylene oxide(PO) in the liquid phase:
CH3CHOCH2+H2OCH3CHOHCH2OH
This exothermic reaction occurs readily at room temperature when catalyzed by sulfuric acid. The feed is a stream of 24,000kghr with the following
Propylene oxide 10WT%, Sulfuric acid 1wt%, Water 89wt% Other data are:
Heat capacity of the reaction mixture 4.18kJKg.K
Heat of reaction -1459KJKg PO
If an adiabatic reactor is used to achieve a fractional conversion of 0.8 for PO with a feed temperature of 20*C, the reactor exit temperature is
A.265K
B.295K
C.300K
D.320K
