Question

Q17. Ethanol is manufactured by reacting ethene gas and steam in the presence of
phosphoric(V)acid.
C2H4(9) + H2O(g) = CH3OH(9)
AH = -45kJ mot
The reaction is carried out at 570 K and 60 atm.
What would be the consequences of carrying out the reaction at the same temperature
but at a pressure of 200 atm?
1 The manufacturing costs would increase.
2
The maximum yield at equilibrium would be higher.
3
The reaction would proceed at a faster rate.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Increasing

2.yes it is higher equilibrium
