Question

The reaction of ethyl-tetrabromide with zinc dust proceeds as shown in the figure below: The reaction
C2H2Br4 + 2Zn →C2H2 + ZnBr2

. Based on one pass through the reactor, 80% of the C2H2Br4 is reacted and

the remainder recycled. On the basis of 1000 kg of C2H2Br4 fed to the reactor per hour, calculate:

a. How much C2H2 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
d. The mole ratio of ZnBr2 to C2H2 in the final products

3. The reaction of ethyl-tetrabromide with zinc dust proceeds as shown in the figure below: The reaction
C,H,Br, + 2Zn →C,H, + ZnBr, . Based on one pass through the reactor, 80% of the CaH2Bra is reacted and
the remainder recycled. On the basis of 1000 kg of C2H2BR fed to the reactor per hour, calculate:
a. How much C2H2 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
d. The mole ratio of ZnBr, to C,H, in the final products
