Ethanol can be manufactured by the vapor=phase hydration of ethylene according to the reaction
C2H4 (g) + H2O (g) ------> C2H5OH (g)
The feed to the reactor in which the above reaction takes place is a gas mixture containing 25 mole% ethylene and 75 mole% steam.
Estimate the product composition if the reaction occurs at 125 degrees celsius and 1 atm, A value for dG at 125 degrees celsius is 1082 cal/g.mole
Assume the gaseous mixtures behave as as mixtures of ideal gas.
