Q.1: Chlorobenzene (C6HSCI), an important solvent, is produced by bubblingchlorine gas through liquid benzene (C6H6) in the presence of catalyst. In anundesired side reaction, the product is further chlorinated to dichlorobenzene,and in a third reaction the dichlorobenzene is chlorinated to trichlorobenzene.The reactions involved in the process are:C,H6 + Cl2 → C,H5CI + HClC6H5CI + Cl2 → C,H4CI2 + HClC,H,Cl2 + Cl2 → C6H3C!3 + HClThe feed to the reactor consists of pure benzene and a technical grade ofchlorine gas (98 wt% Cl2, the balance gaseous impurities with an averagemolecular weight of 25.0). The liquid output from the reactor contains 73.2mol% C6H6, 25.0 mol% CóH5CI, 1.5 mol% CóHĄC2, 0.3 mol% CsH3Cl3. The gaseousoutput contains only HCI and the impurities that entered with the chlorine. With100 mol of liquid output,a) Using extent of reaction method, calculate the following:1. The percentage by which benzene is fed in excess.2. The fractional conversion of benzene.3. The fractional yield of chlorobenzene.b) For the feed, why is pure chlorine not used instead of the chlorine gaswith impurities?

Q.1: Chlorobenzene (C&HSCI), an important solvent, is produced by bubbling chlorine gas through liquid benzene (C&Hs) in the presence of catalyst. In an undesired side reaction, the product is further chlorinated to dichlorobenzene, and in a third reaction the dichlorobenzene is chlorinated to trichlorobenzene. The reactions involved in the process are: C,H6 + Cl2 → CgH;Cl + HCl C,H5CI + Cl2 → C,H4CI2 + HCI C,H,Cl2 + Cl2 → C,H3CI3 + HCI The feed to the reactor consists of pure benzene and a technical grade of chlorine aas (98 wt% C2, the balance gaseous impurities with an average

As you might suspect, B-carotene, C,Hw precursor to vitamin A, was first isolated from carrots. Dilute solutions of B-carotene are yellow, hence its use as a food coloring. In plants, it is almost always present in combination with chlorophyll to assist in the harvesting of the energy of sunlight and to protect the plant against reactive species produced in photo- synthesis. As tree leaves die in the fall, the green of their chlorophyll molecules is replaced by the yellows and reds of carotene and carotene-related molecules. Compare the carbon skeletons of B-carotene and lycopene. What are the similarities? What are the differences? H3C. H3C CH3 CH3 CH3 H,C CH3 CH3 CH3 B-Carotene
