Description: The Production of Ethylbenzene emerges from a series of Reactions, which begin with feeds of Ethylene & Benzene. The simple reaction is listed: C₆H₆ + C₂H₄ → C₆H₅C₂H₅ However, the Ethylbenzene product reacts with Ethylene to produce Diethylbenzene: C₆H₅C₂H₅ + C₂H₄ → C₆H₅(C₂H₅)₂ Then, the Diethylbenzene recycles with Benzene to produce another yield of Ethylbenzene: C₆H₅(C₂H₅)₂ + C₆H₆ → 2 C₆H₅C₂H₅ Finally, the trace amount of Toluene in the Benzene feed reacts with the Ethylene feed to form two Products, including more Ethylbenzene: C₆H₅CH₃ + 2 C₂H₄ → C₆H₅C₂H₅ + C₃H₆
