chlorination to form methylene chloride (CH₂Cl₂), chloroform (CHCl3), and carbontetrachloride (CC14) in different reaction steps.A carbon tetrachloride production process consists of a reactor and a separator system.gasgas stream containing 90 mole % chlorine and the balance methane is fed to thedeactor. In the reactor a single-pass methane conversion of essentially 100% is attained,the mole ratio of carbon tetrachloride to chloroform in the reactor product is 4:1, andnegligible amounts of methyl chloride and methylene chloride are formed. The productstream flows to a separator, from which two streams emerge: a liquid, which containsessentially all of the carbon tetrachloride and chloroform in the reactor effluent, and thegas containing the chlorine and hydrogen chloride.(a)(b)(c)Write the chemical equations of the four reactions of methane chlorination andgive the two main overall reactions ignoring the ones producing negligibleamounts.Explain the reason for the chlorine presence in the reactor outlet stream.Using a basis of 100 kmol.h¹ combined feed to the reactor, calculate the molarflow rate and molar composition of the reactor outlet.14 Problem 3Methane reacts with chlorine (atomic weight 35.5) to produce methyl chloride (CH3CI)and hydrogen chloride (HCI).
