For the preparation of methyl iodide, 200 lbs/day of Hydroiodic acid are added to excess methanol. HI + CH3OH → CH3I + H2O If the product contains 81.6 % along with the unreacted methanol and waste contains 82.65% HI and 17.35 % H20, calculate, assuming that the reaction is 40% complete in the vessel; Find the values of: a. X b. R c. Y d. W

Allyl chloride is used as a precursor in the production of allyl alcohol, glycerin, and a variety of other products used in the pharmaceutical industry. Suppose you have designed a reactor to produce allyl chloride via the thermal chlorination of propylene: C3H6 + Cl2 -> C3H5Cl + HCl In an undesired side reaction, propylene can react with chlorine to produce dichloropropene. C3H6 + 2Cl2 -> C3H4Cl2 + 2HCl The reactor is designed to yield a 25% conversion of propylene and a selectivity of 13 mol C3H5Cl/mol C3H4Cl2. For the reactive system described above, calculate the molar compositions of the reactor feed and product streams

Aniline is produced by the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene. A small amount of cyclohexylamine is produced as a by-product. Nitrobenzene is fed to the reactor as a vapor with three times the required stoichiometric amount of hydrogen. The conversion of nitrobenzene to the products is 96% and the selectivity to aniline is 85%. Unreacted hydrogen is separated from the reaction products and recycled to the reactor. From the recycle line it is purged to keep the inerts in the recycle stream below 5%. The fresh hydrogen that is fed is 99.5% pure and the rest is inert. Calculate the adiabatic outlet temperature of the reaction products and indicate the relationship with respect to the reference temperature (298.15) (in K):

W.W. Heckert et E. Mack studied the decomposition of ethylene oxide in gas phase at 25°C (C₂H4O → CH4 + CO), and found that it is a first-order reaction in the reactant. Determine the reaction rate constant using the date given below, for a reaction that begins with a pure reactant: time (min) Ptot (torr) 0 115.30 6 122.91 7 124.51 8 126.18 10 129.10
