For the gaseous phase chemical reaction, C2H4(g) + H2O(g) ↔ C2H5OH(g), the equilibrium conversion does not depend on the________________?

Correct answer: D. None of these

  • A. Steam to ethylene ratio
  • B. Temperature
  • C. Pressure
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The reaction has a change in gaseous moles of Δn = 1 − 2 = −1, so equilibrium conversion depends on pressure as well as temperature and feed ratio. Hence it does not become independent of any listed variable.
