The compound chloromethane can be synthesized by the chemical reaction: This reaction progresses by a free-radical mechanism

Question:

The compound chloromethane can be synthesized by the chemical reaction: 

CH + Cl  CHCl + HCl 4

This reaction progresses by a free-radical mechanism and typically requires high temperatures. 

The reaction is carried out in a closed vessel (Figure 14-7) at P = 1 bar and constant temperature. The reactor initially contains 2 moles of methane and 1 mole of chlorine. Assuming this is the only chemical reaction that occurs, determine the extent of reaction at equilibrium for temperatures of:

A. 298.15 K 

B. 800 K  

Figure 14-7.

Initial state T = Constant P = 1 bar NCH4 = 2 mol Ncl = 1 mol NCH3CI = 0 mol NHCI = 0 mol Final state T =
