PROBLEM P3-11A

(a)
CAO = 1 lbmol/ft3 CBO = 3.47 lbmol/ft3

Stoichiometric Table:

Species Symbol Initial Change Remaining

Ethylene A CAO=1 lbmol/ft3 - CAOX CA= CAO(1-X)
oxide = (1-X) lbmol/ft3
Water B CBO= 3.47 lbmol/ft3, -CAOX CB = CAO( θ B -X)
θ B =3.47 =(3.47-X) lbmol/ft3
Glycol C 0 CAOX CC = CAOX
= X lbmol/ft3

Rate law: -rA = kCACB
