ethene and chlorine react together to form dichloroethane via main reaction. However some of the ethene and chlroine also react to form trichloroethane via a side reaction. The feed to the reactor contains 1.25 kmol of C2H4 per kmol of cl2. the overall conversion of chlorine is 100% and the selectivity of C2H4Cl2 over C2H3Cl3 is 8. a)what is the fractional conversion of chlorine via reaction 1 and reaction 2
b) calculate the mole fractions of all the components in the reactor
