Hydrogen fluoride (HF) reacts with dichlorodifluoromethane (D) to produce tetrafluoromethane (T) and HCl according to the following reaction: Liquid D is fed with HF to a reactor where the single-pass conversion of D in the reactor is 70.0%. The reactor effluent enters a distillation column where the bottoms contains 95.0% of the unreacted D and the overhead contains all of the products, the unreacted HF, and the balance of the unreacted D. The bottoms are recycled back to mix with the fresh feed that enters the reactor. If the fresh feed contains 10.0 mol/s of D and 25.0% excess HF, how much D enters the reactor in one minute (kg)? MW D = 120.9.

Question

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) reacts with dichlorodifluoromethane (D) to produce tetrafluoromethane
(T) and HCl according to the following reaction:



Liquid D is fed with HF to a reactor where the single-pass conversion of D in the reactor is 70.0%.
The reactor effluent enters a distillation column where the bottoms contains 95.0% of the
unreacted D and the overhead contains all of the products, the unreacted HF, and the balance of
the unreacted D. The bottoms are recycled back to mix with the fresh feed that enters the reactor. If
the fresh feed contains 10.0 mol/s of D and 25.0% excess HF, how much D enters the reactor in
one minute (kg)? MW D = 120.9.

CC1₂F2 + 2HF → CF4 + 2HCl
