In the Deacon Process for the manufacture of C12 , a mixture of HCl gas and air is passed over a heated catalyst which promotes oxidation of the acid. Air supplied is at a rate of 12.5 cubic meter air measured at 30 degree Celsius and 100 kPa per kg/HCl. (a) calculate per kg of acid, the kg of air supplied, percent excess air (b) mass composition of the gas mixture entering the reaction chamber and (c) wt% composition of the gases leaving the chamber assuming 80% of the acid is oxidized. (d) volume of gases leaving the chamber at 100 degree Celsius and 750 mmhg
