Question
Show the complete answer and diagram.solve using extent of reaction.
Ethane is chlorinated in a continuous reactor:
C2H6 +Cl2 → C2H;CI + HCI
Some of the product monochloroethane is further
chlorinated in an undesired side reaction:
C2H5CI +Cl2 → C2H4C12 + HCI
a. Take a basis of 100.0 mol of C2H5CI produced.
Assume that the feed contains only ethane and
chlorine and that all of the chlorine is consumed.
How many degrees of freedom remain (use atomic
balances)?
b. The reactor is designed to yield a 15.0%
conversion of ethane and a selectivity of 18.0 mol
C2H5CI / mol C2H4Cl2with a negligible amount of
chlorine in the product gas.
Calculate the feed ratio (mol Cl2/mol C2H6).
Calculate the fractional yield of
monochloroethane.
