The dehydration butanol on alumina is carried out over a silica-alumina catalyst at 680 K. CH3CH2CH2OH →CH3CH = CHCH3 + H2O

The rate law iswith k = 0.054 mol/gcat·h·atm and KBu = 0.32 atm^–1. Pure butanol enters a thin-tubed, packed-bed reactor at a molar flow rate of 50 kmol/hr and a pressure of 10 atm (1013·kPa).

Required:
a. What PBR catalyst weight is necessary to achieve 80% conversion in the absence of pressure drop?
b. What "fluidized CSTR" catalyst weight is necessary to achieve 80% conversio?

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
