The manufacture of sodium hypochlorite has the following chemical reaction: Cl2 + 2 NaOH → CINa + NaOCI + H2O The chlorine gas is bubbled into an aqueous NaOH solution and the desired product is subsequently separated from the sodium chloride. 1,145 lbs. Of NaOH are reacted with 851 lbs. Of chlorine gas and 618 lbs. Of NaOCI are obtained. Calculate: a) What is the limiting reactant? b) What is the percentage of excess of the other reactant? c) Determine the mass percentage composition of the reactor output stream. d) Determine the molar percentage composition of the reactor output stream.
