Question:

Chlorobenzene_(l) is produced by reacting benzene_(l) initially at 30°C with Cl₂_(g) initially at 30°C in a batch reactor using AlCl₃ as a catalyst. HCl_(g) is a by-product. During the course of the reaction, the temperature increases to 50°C. To avoid dichlorobenzenes, conversion of benzene is limited to 80%. On the basis of 1 mol of benzene, and 0.5 mol Cl_2(g) feed, what heating or cooling is required using the specified method(s)?

(a) The NIST WebBook reports the heats of formation for liquid benzene and chlorobenzene as 49 kJ/mol and 11.5 kJ/mol, respectively. The heat capacities of liquid benzene and chlorobenzene are 136 J/mol-K and 150 J/mol-K, respectively. Use liquid reference states for the benzenes and the heat of reaction method for the energy balance.

(b) Follow part (a), but instead, use the heat of formation method for the energy balance.

(c) Use an ideal gas-phase reference state for the benzenes, Eqn. 2.45 to estimate the heat of vaporization, and the Heat of Reaction method. AH'ap RTC 7(1-7)0.354 +110(1-T,)0.456 88 2.45
