3. Nitrobenzene is an intermediate used to produce phenylamine or aniline. Its application extends to the production of lubricating oils used in motors and machinery. Nitrobenzene is produced by the reaction of benzene and nitric acid as shown. C6H6 + HNO3 C6H5NO₂ + H₂O 75 kmoles of benzene and 200 kmoles of mixed acid are fed into a reactor. The mixed acid is composed of 50.2 %mol H₂SO4, 42.5 %mol HNO3, and the rest is water. All the benzene is completely isolated in the separator is fed back to the reactor. If the overall conversion of benzene is 92 %, find the: a. no. of moles of the product stream, the spent acid stream, and the recycle stream b. the percent mole composition of the spent acid stream c. the single-pass conversion of benzene Mixed Acid, M Spent Acid, S Feed, F Benzene REACTOR Product, P C6H5NO₂ SEPARATOR Recycle (R) C6H6
