(1) The gas phase composition if the system starts with 1 mole of C2H6 and 2 mole of H2.
assume 100% conversion of limiting reactant so:
1:1 ratio
mol of C2H6 = 1 , limiting reactant
C2H6 = 1 -1 = 0
H2 = 2-1 = 1
CH4 formed = 2*1 = 2
composition:
x-C2H6 = 0/(1+2) = 0
x-H2 = 1/(1+2) = 1/3 = 0.333
x-CH4 = 2/(1+2) =2/3 = 0.66
Q2)
if system:
still pretty similar, C2H6 is limiting so:
mol of C2H6 reacting = 1
C2H6 left = 0
H2 left = 2-1 = 1
CH4 formed = 0 + 1*2 = 2
N2 inert = 2
total mol = 1+2+2 = 5
so..
x-C2H6 = 0/(5 = 0
x-H2 = 1/5 = 0.20
x-CH4 = 2/5 = 0.4
x-N2 = 1/5= 0.20
