C2H4 + 3O2 2CO2 + 2H2O

2n1 + 2n3 + n4 = 2(75mol/hr) (1)

C Balance n4 = 3 mole CO2/hr
2n1 + 2n3 + n4 = 2(75mol/hr)….............(1)
4n1 + 4n3 + 2n5 = 4(75mol/hr) (2)
H Balance n5 = 3 mole H2O/hr
4n1 + 4n3 + 2n5 = 4(75mol/hr)…...........(2)
2n2 + n3 + 2n4 + n5 = 2(25mol/hr) (3)
O Balance n2 = 13.75 mole O2/hr
2n2 + n3 + 2n4 + n5 = 2(25mol/hr)…......(3)
niO2 + n2 = 25 (4)
niO2 + n2 = 25….............................(4) niO2= 11.25 mole O2/hr

niC2H4 + n1 = 75.............................(5) niC2H4 + n1 = 75 (5)

niC2H4 = 15 mole C2H4/hr
2H4 balance: x+60 = 75 …..................(1) 100% conversion of C2H4 and O2, since all products are recycl
O2 balance: y+13.75 = 25 …..............(2) C2H4 (recycle) = 60.00 mol C2H4
O2 (recycle) = 13.75 mol O2

To produce 1 ton per hour of C2H4O :

mole of C2H4O (1 𝑡𝑜𝑛 𝐶2𝐻4𝑂)/ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟 x (907,185𝑔 𝐶)/(1 𝑡𝑜𝑛) x (1 𝑚𝑜

to be produced =
= 20618 molC/hr

Scaling factor = 20618/13.5

= 1527
Molar flow rate of C2H4 needed
 = 15 x 1527
= 22905 mole C2H4 / hour
Molar flow rate of O2 needed
= 11.25 x 1527
= 17179 mole C2H4 / hour

ole H2O/hr mol C2H4: 75 mol C2H4
mol O2: 25 mol O2
/hr) (3) So = 15 mole C2H4/hour
ole O2/hr n1 that
exit R = 60 mole C2H4/hour
(4) 90% x 15mole C2H4O / hour
ole O2/hr So, n3 = 13.5 mole C2H4O/hour

(5)
ole C2H4/hr
d O2, since all products are recycled to the feed reactor stream
