Propylene is hydrogenated in a batch reactor using the following reaction: C 3 H 6 g + H 2 ( g ) C 3 H

Propylene is hydrogenated in a batch reactor using the following reaction:
C3H6g+H2(g)C3H8(g)
Equimolar amounts of propylene and hydrogen are fed into the reactor at 25C and a total absolute
pressure of 32.0atm. The reactor temperature is raised to 235C and held at that temperature until the
reaction is complete. The propylene conversion when the reactor initially reaches 235C is 53.2%. You
may assume ideal gas law for this problem. (Hint: assume a basis)
What is the final reactor pressure after complete conversion?
What is the reactor pressure when it reaches its isothermal period (reaches 235C)?
What is the percentage conversion when the reactor pressure is 35.1atm ?
