ABSTRACT

Problem 3.8: Determine ∆G0 vs. T for the reaction CO2 = CO + (1/2) O2. Plot log K0 vs. (1/T). Use T = 500, 700, 1000, 2000, and 3000 K.

Problem 3.9: Methanol is produced through the reaction

The required H2 and CO are produced by producing synthesis gas (H2/ CO = 3) using steam reforming reaction

Problem 3.10: The feedstock for producing a gaseous mixture of CO and H2 is ethane, and

Additional hydrogen can be produced by the water-gas shift reaction

Another source of H2 is

C (s) + H2O → CO + H2. (C)

and if equilibrium is assumed at 350°C, determine the conversions to H2 at P = 1 bar and P = 0.1 bar. Comment on the effect of pressure.
