Question 1 of 5

In the hydration of ethylene, diethyl ether is obtained as a by-product,

\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH}

2 \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2 \mathrm{O}

A feed mixture containing of 70% ethylene, 3% inerts and 27% water is sent to the reactor. The products analysed 50.89% ethylene, 16.37% ethanol, 2.80% ether, 26.35% water and 3.59% inerts. Calculate the conversion of ethylene and yield of ethanol in percentage?

A

Conversion= 39%, yield =0.35%

B

Conversion= 27.5%, yield =0.35%

C

Conversion= 27.5%, yield =0.5%

D

Conversion= 39%, yield =49.7%
