The reaction of ethyl-tetrabromide with zinc dust proceeds as shown in Figure P12.17. Zn CHz S CH,Br. Gross ZnBr2 a Reactor Product a R (C2H2Bra) Figure P12.17 The reaction is C,H,Br, + 2Zn → C,H2 + 2ZnBrz. Based on one pass through the re- actor, 80% of the C,H,Br, is reacted and the remainder recycled. On the basis of 1000 kg of C,H,Br4 fed to the reactor per hour, calculate: (a) How much C,H, is produced per hour (in kg) (b) The rate of recycle in kg/hr (c) The feed rate necessary for Zn to be 20% in excess
