3. The reaction of ethyl-tetrabromide with zinc dust proceeds as shown in the figure below: The reaction C,H,Br, + 2Zn→C,H, + ZnBr, . Based on one pass through the reactor, 80% of the C2H;Bra is reacted and the remainder recycled. On the basis of 1000 kg of CzH;Bra fed to the reactor per hour, calculate: a. How much C2H2 is produced per hour (in kg)? b. The rate of recycle in kg/hr c. The feed rate necessary for Zn to be 20% in excess d. The mole ratio of ZnBr, to C;Hz in the final products
