Question

1: In a process for the manufacture of Cl2 by direct oxidation of HCl with air
4HCl + O2 2Cl2 + 2H2O
The exit product stream is composed of HCl (5%), Cl2 (18.8%), H2O (18.8%), O2 (5.0%) and N2 (52.4%). What was:
a) The limiting reactant?
b) The % excess reactant?
c) Thedegreeofcompletionofthereaction? d) The yield of Cl2?
e) The%conversionofO2?

Q2: Ethylene oxide (C2H4O) is formed by the partial oxidation of ethylene
(C2H4) in a gas phase reaction over a silver catalyst according to the
stoichiometry:
2C¿H4 + O2 –→ 2C¿H4O
In this process 1000 mol/h of pure ethylene (C¿H4) is fed to a reactor along
with an air stream (21 mol% O2, 79 mol% N2). The effluent stream
contains 300 mol/hr of ethylene oxide (C2H4O). The ethylene oxide (C2H4O)
is also 16.7 mol% of the effluent stream. Determine the full composition of
the effluent stream?
