Question: ( Elliott 3 . 6 ) Chlorobenzene ( l ) is produced by reacting benzene ( l ) initially at 3 0 C with C

(Elliott 3.6) Chlorobenzene (l) is produced by reacting benzene (l) initially at
30C with Cl2(g) initially at 30C in a batch reactor using AICI3 as a catalyst.
HCl(g) is a by-product. During the course of the reaction, the temperature
increases to 50C. To avoid dichlorobenzenes, conversion of benzene is lim-
ited to 30%. On the basis of 1mol of benzene, and 0.5motCl2(g) feed, what
heating or cooling is required using the specified method(s)? The NIST Web-
Book reports the heats of formation for liquid benzene and chlorobenzene at
25C as 49kJmol and 11.5kJmol, respectively. The heat capacities of liquid
benzene and chlorobenzene are 136Jmol-K and 150Jmol-K, respectively.
(a) Use liquid reference states for the benzenes and the heat of reaction
method for the energy balance. (Answer: Q=35.9kJ)
(b) Follow part (a), but instead, use the heat of formation method for the
energy balance.
