Monochlorodecane $($MCD$)$ is the main product that can be produced from decane $($DEC$)$ and chlorine $(C{l}_2)$ via the following reaction

DEC$+C{l}_2$harrMCD$+HCl$

Both reactants are separately fed to the reactor. Hydrogen chloride $(HCl)$ can be sold to a neighboring plant.

Dichlorodecane $($DCD$),$ which is not required, is produced from the following side reaction that occurs in the same reactor

$MCD+C{l}_2$harrDCD$+HCl$

Assume that the reactor effluent stream is liquid. All separations can be carried out by distillation in which all components are separated in order of their volatility. The boiling points are given as follows
