 (a) The benzylamide is the product obtained from the liquidphase reaction

(a) The benzylamide is the product obtained from the liquidphase reaction of ammonia and benzoyl chloride. The production capacity of benzylamide per year is 4 billion kg and the factory is operated at 340 days per year. 2NH3+C6H3COCIC6H3CONH2+NH4CI The total concentration to the reactor is 8molL with a mixture of CHHOCI, and NH3 in the ratio of 3:1. The specific reaction rate is 1.2Lmol2s1. The molecular weight of benzylamide is 107.15gmol1. The conversion of ammonia and benzoyl chloride to benzylamide is 25%.
