Question: Ethane is chlorinated in a continuous reactor: C 2 H 6 ( g ) + 2 C l 2 ( g ) l o n

Ethane is chlorinated in a continuous reactor:
C2H6(g)+2Cl2(g)longrightarrowC2H4Cl2(g)+2HC
Relevant Information
The reaction takes place in the gas phase.
The reactor is fed with ethane and 25% excess of chlorine gas.
Reactants are fed at 25C and products are obtained at 275C.
Additional Data
CPC2H4C2(g)=30.8510-3+5.474110-
, where T is in Kelvin and CP is in kJgmolK
H??(fC2H4C2(g))=-95.52kJgmol
If a production rate of 200gmolhr of C2H4Cl2 is needed, how much heat is added or removed from the system?
