2-Octene can be produced by catalytic isomerisation of 1-octene. A catalyst is used in producing 2-octene in a fixed-bed reactor (hexane is the solvent). For the system shown in the diagram, what percent conversion of the 1-octene results on one pass through the reactor when the exit stream/recycle (E/R) ratio in moles is equal to 6.25?
