1. In a process for the manufacture of chlorine by direct oxidation of HCI with air over a catalyst to form Cl₂ and H₂O (only), the exit product is composed of HCI (4.4%), Cl₂ (19.8 %), H₂O (19.8%), O₂ (4.0%), and N₂ (52.0%). The chemical reaction involved is as follow: 4HCI + O2 → 2Cl2 + 2H₂0 Find a) limiting reactant and excess reactant, b) percent excess reactant, c) degree of completion of the reaction, d) extent of reaction
