The most extensively used organic compound in the chemical industry is ethene (C,H4). The two equations C2H4(g) + Cl2 (g) 2CH¾C1½(g) C2H4CI2 (g)=C2H;Cl(g) + HCl(g) represent the way in which vinyl chloride (C,H;CI) is syn- thesized for eventual use in polymeric plastics (polyvinyl chloride, PVC). The byproduct of the reaction, HCI, is now most cheaply made by this and similar reactions, rathcr than by dircct combination of H, and Cl2. Hcat is given off in the first reaction and taken up in the second. Describe how you would design an industrial process to maximize the yield of vinyl chloride.
