What operating condition will benefit the desired reaction

Reference no: EM133367503

1) The partial oxidation of an olefin to produce an epoxide is catalyzed by supported Mo oxide.

a) Write the general rate equations for the formation of each product . Ignore the reverse reaction since the equilibrium constant is very large. The formation of the desired product was determined to have a reaction order of 0.6 for olefin with the O2 order equal to 1. The path for the CO2 reaction has an olefin order of 0.20 with the O2 order also being 1. What could you change in the process to enhance expoxide production and minimize CO2 formation ?

b) The undesired CO2 path has an activation of 90 Kj/mol while the desired path has an activation energy of 40 Kj/mol. What operating condition will benefit the desired reaction?
