Question: 5 . 4 9 . Monochlorobenzene ( M ) is produced commercially by the direct catalytic chlorination of benzene ( B ) at 4 0

5.49. Monochlorobenzene (M) is produced commercially by the direct catalytic chlorination of benzene (B) at 40C and 120 kPa absolute. In the process, dichlorobenzene (D) is generated as a co-product:
C6H6+Cl2C6H5Cl+HCl
C6H5Cl+Cl2C6H4Cl2+HCl
Liquid and gas streams leave the reactor. The liquid contains 49.2wt%M,29.6%D, and the remainder unreacted B. The gas, which is sent to a treatment facility, contains 92%(vv)HCl and 8% unreacted chlorine. Assume ideal-gas behavior.
