    The document describes a process involving the reaction of ethylene (C2H4) with oxygen (O2) and iodine (I) in a reactor to produce ethylene oxide (C2H4O). It provides the molar flow rates of reactants and products in various streams. The reactor converts 20% of the C2H4 at a rate of 596 kmol/hr, producing 149 kmol/hr of C2H4O. The products are separated, with the upper stream consisting of 578 kmol/hr C2H4, 172 kmol/hr O2, 5 kmol/hr I, and 6 kmol/hr C2H4O,
