PART B (1 X 10= 10 Marks)
No. Question (s) Skill Set POs Cos
Acetic acid is esterified in the liquid phase with ethanol at 100 0C PO1,
and atmospheric pressure to produce ethyl acetate and water Apply PO2
according to the reaction :
CH3COOH(l) +C2H5OH (l) CH3COOC2H5 (l) +H2O (l)
If initially ther eis one mole each of acetic acid and ethanol,
estimate the mole fraction of ethyl acetate in the reacting mixture at CCH208.5
6 equilibrium. CCH208.6
Species (i) H f 298 Gf 298

(or)
A water gas shift reaction CO + H 2O CO2 + H2 is carried out Apply PO1,
under the different sets of conditions f=given below. Calculate the PO2
fraction of steam reacted in each case CCH208.5
7 (a) The reactants consist of 1 mol of H 2O vapor and 1 mol of CO. CCH208.6
The temperature is 1100 K and the pressure is 1 bar (K=1).
(b) The reactants are 2 mol of H 2O vapor, 1 mol of CO and 2 mol
of N2 other conditions are same as in (a). (10M)
PART C (2 X 10 = 20 Marks)
(Answer any Two)
No Question (s) Skill Set POs Cos
Understand
PO1,
CCH208.5
8 Derive the relationship between the standard Gibbs energy change PO2
and the equilibrium constant. (10M)
A system initially containg 2 mol C 2H4 and 3 mol O2 undergoes the Understand PO1,
reactions: C2H4 (g) +1/2 O2 (g) --> (CH2 )2 + O(g) PO2
C2H4 (g) + 3 O2 (g) --> 2CO2 (g) + 2H2O (g) CCH208.6
9
Develop expressions for the mole fractions of the reacting species as
functions of the reaction coordinates for the two reactions.

Define equilibrium constant and derive the expressions for different Understand PO1, CCH208.6
10 forms of equilibrium constant for gas phase and liquid PO2
phasereactions. (10M)
