As an engineer your task is to produce silicon from the gases of SiCl$4$ and

H$2.$ The reaction proceeds as given below:

$4$

$()+22$

$()()+4()$

The reactor pressure is kept $0\mathrm{.}1$ kPa. The feed is provided stoichiometrically. Your

supervisor expects you to utilize at least $80\%$ of SiCl$4.$ What is the minimum temperature

in the reactor to convert $80\%$ of SiCl$4$ to silicon? Comment on the minimum temperature

required that you find. If it is too high what are the alternative way$/$ways to decrease

it$?$

Problem $6.$ As an engineer your task is to produce silicon from the gases of $SiC{l}_4$ and $H_2.$ The reaction proceeds as given below:

$SiC{l}_4(g)+2H_2(g)Si(s)+4HCl(g)$

The reactor pressure is kept $0\mathrm{.}1$kPa. The feed is provided stoichiometrically. Your supervisor expects you to utilize at least $80\%$ of $SiC{l}_4.$ What is the minimum temperature in the reactor to convert $80\%$ of $SiC{l}_4$ to silicon? Comment on the minimum temperature required that you find. If it is too high what are the alternative way$/$ways to decrease it$?$

Data: $\frac{}{b}ar(G{)}_{rxn,298K}^0=241\mathrm{.}6{10}^3\frac{J}{m}ol$;$\frac{}{b}ar(H{)}_{rxn,298K}^0=293\mathrm{.}5{10}^3\frac{J}{m}ol$
