Question: Example: Cl2(g) + C3H6(g) C3H5Cl(g) + HCl(g) (a) Cl2 (g) + C3H6(g) C3H6Cl2(g) (b) The species recovered after the reaction takes place for some time

Example: Cl2(g) + C3H6(g) C3H5Cl(g) + HCl(g) (a) Cl2 (g) + C3H6(g) C3H6Cl2(g) (b) The species recovered after the reaction takes place for some time contains : species Cl2= 141mole , C3H6=651 mole C3H5Cl=4.6 mole, C3H6Cl2=24.5 mole, HCl =4.6mole. Based on the product distribution assuming that no allyl chlorides were present in the feed, calculate the following: a. How much Cl2 and C3H6 were fed to the reactor in mol? b. What was the limiting reactant? c. What was the excess reactant? d. What was the fraction conversion of C3H6 to C3H5C1 ? e. What was the selectivity of C3H5C1 relative to C3H6Cl2 ? f. What was the yield of C3H5C1 expressed in g of C3H5C1 to the g of C3H6 fed to the reactor? g. What was the extent of reaction of the first and second reactions?
