Please answer in detail specially part B. Please answer in detail specially part B. Q3) Ethane is chlorinated in

Q3) Ethane is chlorinated in a continuous reactor: C2H6+Cl2C2H5Cl+HCl Some of the product monochloroethane is further chlorinated in an undesired side reaction: C2H5Cl+Cl2C2H4Cl2+HCl a) Take a basis of 100molC2H5Cl produced. Assume that the feed contains only ethane and chlorine and that all of the chlorine is consumed and carry out a degree-of-freedom analysis based on atomic species balances. b) The reactor is designed to yield a 15% conversion of ethane and a selectivity of 14mol C2H5Cl/molC2H4Cl2, with a negligible amount of chlorine in the product gas. Calculate the feed ratio (molCl2/molC2H6) and the fractional yield of monochloroethane
