(a) Ethanol can be manufactured from ethene and steam as shown in the equation below:
Temperature and pressure will affect the position of equilibrium of the above reaction. Name the other factor that will affect the position of equilibrium of the above reaction.
(b) The data in the table below was recorded when one mole of ethene was reacted with excess steam. The amount of ethanol in the equilibrium mixture was recorded under different conditions of temperature and pressure. Use the data to answer the questions that follow.
(i)State whether the reaction between ethene and steam is exothermic or endothermic.
Explain your answer. (ii) State and explain one advantage and one disadvantage of using extremely high pressure in this reaction. I Advantage II disadvantage (c) In an experiment to determine the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and dilute hydrochloric acid, 2g of calcium carbonate were reacted with excess 2 M hydrochloric acid, The volume of carbon (IV) oxide evolved was recorded at regular intervals of one minute for six minutes. The results are shown in the table below.
​(i) plot a graph of time in minutes on the horizontal axis against volume of carbon (IV) oxide on the vertical axis.
(ii) determine the rate of reaction at 4 minutes
ANSWERS
​(a) Increase or change in amount of reagent either reactants or products.
(Concentration). (b) (i) Exothermic increase in temperature from 250 - 350 at constant pressure the amount of ethanol formed at equilibrium decreases. (ii) I Advantage - it would increase the yield of ethanol ; since increase in pressure will favour side with less moles i.e. the products. II Disadvantage - it would mean investment in equipment to withstand the high pressure and would be expensive. ​Related Chemistry Questions and Answers on Reaction Rates and Reversible Reactions Form 4 Level
