Question

A system initially containing two moles of C2 H4 and three moles of O2 undergoes the reaction C2H4 (g) + 3O2(g) →2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) Develop an expression for the mole fraction of the reacting species as a function of reaction co-ordinate.

Answer 1

Answer:

C2 H4 O2 molecules

Reaction C2H4(gaseous state) + 3O2(gaseous state)----》2Co2( gaseous state) + 2H2O(gaseous state)

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The number of moles of the chemical specie i after the reaction, is the number of the moles of the chemical specie i initially,  is the stoichiometric coefficient of the specie i, and  is the extent of reaction.

The reaction co ordinate (∈) is a variable that signifies the extent to which the reaction is completed.
