The reaction between ethylene and hydrogen bromide to form ethyl bromide is carried out in a continuous reactor. The product stream is analyzed and found to contain 54.7 mole% C2H5Br and 19.3% HBr. The feed to the reactor contains only ethylene and hydrogen bromide. Calculate the fractional conversion of the limiting reactant and the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess. If the molar flow rate of the feed stream is 175 molls, what is the extent of reaction?

2. Ethyl chloride is produced from HCl and ethyl alcohol using the reaction HCl + C2H5OHC2H5Cl + H2O. Pure HCl gas is available. The ethanol is available as a 90% (wt based) solution in water and must be vaporized. The reaction does not go to completion. The reactor effluent is sent to a purification unit which separates feed into a product containing 87%C2H5Cl, 12%C2H5OH, and 1% H2O and a spent acid stream containing 78% HCl and 22% water. Using a...

The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most useful in organic chemistry because it allows for the formation of rings: The reactor initially has only the diene and the dienophile. The product stream has 55 mole% of the ring and 17 mole% of diene. Calculate the fractional conversion of the limiting reactant and the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess. If we assume that we can do this reaction continuously, pick a basis for the feed and...

The synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen is carried out in a continuous vapor-phase reactor at 5.00 atm absolute. The feed contains CO and H2 in stoichiometric proportion and enters the reactor at 25.0°C and 5.00 atm at a rate of 31.1 m3/h. The product stream emerges from the reactor at 157°C. The rate of heat transfer from the reactor is 24.0 kW. Calculate the fractional conversion (0 to 1) of carbon monoxide achieved and the volumetric flow...

Ethanol is produced commercially by hydration of ethylene and during this process a side reaction converts some the ethanol to diethyl ether (DEE). In one process, a fresh feed containing ethylene, non-condensable inerts, and water are mixed with a recycle stream. The combined stream is fed to the reactor and it contains 182 mol/min of ethylene. While the fresh feed contains 9 moles of ethylene per mole of inerts, after mixing with recycle stream, the mole ratio of inerts to...
