Question

Ethane is chlorinated in continuous reactor: C2H6 + Cl2 → C2H5Cl + HCl
Some of the product monochloroethane is further chlorinated in an undesired side reaction:

C2H5Cl + Cl2 → C2H4Cl2 + HCl

The reactor is designed to yield a 15% conversion of ethane and a selectivity of 14 mole C2H5Cl /mole
C2H4Cl2, with a negligible amount of chlorine in the product gas. Calculate a) Feed ratio (mole Cl2/mole
C2H6 b) Fractional yield of monochloroethane. (Basis: Use 100 moles of C2H5Cl produced).

Ethane is chlorinated in continuous reactor: C2H6 + Cl2
C2H5CI + HCI
Some of the product monochloroethane is further chlorinated in an undesired side reaction:
C2H;Cl + Cl2 → C2H,Cl, + HCl
The reactor is designed to yield a 15% conversion of ethane and a selectivity of 14 mole C,H5CI /mole
C2H,Cl2, with a negligible amount of chlorine in the product gas. Calculate a) Feed ratio (mole Cl2/mole
C2H6 b) Fractional yield of monochloroethane. (Basis: Use 100 moles of C2HSCI produced).
