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 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...

Acetic acid bacteria of the genus Acetobacter are used to made acetic acid, in the form of vinegar. Given sufficient oxygen, these bacteria can produce vinegar from a variety of alcoholic foodstuffs. Commonly used feeds include apple cider, wine, and fermented grain, malt, rice, or potato mashes. The overall chemical reaction facilitated by these bacteria is:             C2H5OH + O2 → CH3COOH + H2O One of the first modern commercial processes was the "German method", first practised in Germany in...

Antimony (Sb, 121.8 g/mol) is a metal that is used in applications such as fire retardant materials, electronics, bullets, lead shot, and in lead-free solders. The primary source of antimony in nature is its sulfide, stibinite (Sb2S3, 339.7 g/mol). Pure antimony is obtained by heating pulverized stibnite with scrap iron (Fe, 55.85 g/mol), and drawing off the molten antimony from the bottom of the reaction vessel. Sb2S3 + 3 Fe ------> 2Sb + 3FeS (FeS = 87.91 g/mol). Suppose that...
