Current Attempt in Progress

Acetylene is hyrodgenated to form ethane. The feed to the reactor contains $1\mathrm{.}10$mol$\frac{H_2}{m}ol{C}_2{H}_2.$ The reaction proceeds to completion.

a$.$ Calculate the stoichiometric reactant ratio $(mol{H}_2$ reacted$/mol{C}_2{H}_2$ reacted$)$ and the yield ratio $(mol{C}_2{H}_6$ formed$\frac{?}{mol{H}_2}$ reacted$).$

mol $H_2$ reacted $\frac{?}{mol{C}_2{H}_2}$ reacted

mol $C_2{H}_6$ formed $\frac{?}{mol{H}_2}$ reacted

b$.$ Determine the percentage by which acetylene is in excess.

$\%$

c$.$ Calculate the mass feed rate of hydrogen $(k\frac{g}{s})$ required to produce $4\mathrm{.}00{10}^6$ metric tons of ethane per year, assuming that the reaction goes to completion and that the process operates for $24$ hours a day, $300$ days a year.
