Question

A proce for the production of 1,3-butadiene reult from catalytic dehydrogenation at atmopheric preure of 1-butene according to the reaction:

C4H8(g) → C4H6(g)H2(g)
To uppre ide reaction, the 1-butene feed tream i diluted with team in the ratio of 10 mole of team per mole of 1-butene. The reaction i carried out iothermally at 525°C, and at thi temperature 33% of the 1-butene i converted to 1,3-butadiene. How much heat i tranferred to the reactor per mole of entering 1-butene?

Answer 1

To calculate the heat transferred to the reactor per mole of entering 1-butene, we need to determine the enthalpy change for the reaction and then multiply it by the conversion of 1-butene to 1,3-butadiene.
The balanced equation for the reaction is
C4H8(g) + 3H2(g) → C4H6(g) + 3H2(g)

The enthalpy change for the reaction can be calculated using the standard enthalpies of formation for 1-butene and 1,3-butadiene.
The heat transferred to the reactor per mole of entering 1-butene can be calculated by multiplying the enthalpy change for the reaction with the conversion of 1-butene to 1,3-butadiene (33%).

As the enthalpy change of the reaction is not provided, it is not possible to calculate the heat transferred to the reactor per mole of entering 1-butene.
