The reaction to produce ethylene oxide is as follows; C2?H4?+1/2O2??C2?H4?O The reaction is an isothermal, isobaric, catalytic gas-phase oxidation reaction, where the feed consist of a stoichiometric mixture of ethylene and oxygen, enter the PBR at 6atm and 260?C. Set up a stoichiometric table for the reaction above. Express the concentration of each species in the reaction as a function of conversion evaluating all constants (e.g., ?,?). Then assume the reaction follows an elementary rate law, write the reaction rate solely as a function of conversion, i.e., ?rA?=f(X).
