clear solution, please Problem 5: monochloroethane (C2H5Cl) is produced by ethane chlorination

Problem 5: monochloroethane (C2H5Cl) is produced by ethane chlorination ( reaction with Cl2) in a continuous reactor with hydrochloric acid. Some of the product monochloroethane is further chlorinated in an undesired side reaction to produce dichloroethane (C2H4Cl2). A fresh feed stream containing only ethane (C2H) and Cl and that all of the chlorine is consumed. The reactor is designed to a 15% conversion of ethane and a selectivity of 14 mol CH3Cl /mol (211,0ly, with a negligible amount of chlorine in the product stream. Take a basis of 100 mol of C2HCl produced, answer the following: a) Balance both the desired and undesired reaction b) Draw and label process flowchart c) Carry out a degree of freedom analysis based on extent of reaction method and prove that process unknown can be solved, d) Determine the flowrate of the output stream using atomic balance approach e) Calculate the feed ratio (mol Clz/mol C2H) and the fractional yield of C,HSCI. 1) Comment of your results
