A CSTR is used in the production of vinyl chloride by reacting chlorine with ethylene C2H4 + Cl2 → C2H4Cl2. Both reactants enter  the reactor at a molar flow rate of 10 mol/s. The feed stream is at a  temperature of 75. The heat capacity for both reactants is 22 J/mol/k and  for the product it is 44 J/mol/k, the heat of reaction (which is independent of temperature) is equal to -22,000 J/mol.
