Extracted text: Ethane is chlorinated in a continuous reactor: C2H6 +CI2→C2H5CI + HCI Some of the product monochloroethane is further chlorinated in an undesired side reaction: C2H5CI +Cl2 → C2H4CI2 + HCI a. Take a basis of 100.0 mol of C2H5CI produced. Assume that the feed contains only ethane and chlorine and that all of the chlorine is consumed. How many degrees of freedom remain (use atomic balances)? i b. The reactor is designed to yield a 11.0% conversion of ethane and a selectivity of 10.0 mol C2H5CI / mol C2H4CI2 with a negligible amount of chlorine in the product gas. Calculate the feed ratio (mol Cl2/mol C2H6). i Calculate the fractional yield of monochloroethane.
