Task 5- The synthesis reaction is highly exothermic; therefore, cooling water must be pumped through the jacket of the reactor to maintain a stable temperature. Find the enthalpies of the main reaction and side reaction (or use Hess law if you cant find them). Based on those enthalpies, and the rates of product and by-product formation, calculate the necessary rate of cooling in tons, and rate of cooling water flow required. Give your answer in kg/hr.(Cooling water is available at 5oC, with max \Delta T =10oC) Cite your sources correctly!
