Chlorobenzene ( C ) is produced commercially by the direct catalytic chlorination of benzene ( B ) at 4 0 deg C and 1

Chlorobenzene (C) is produced commercially by the direct catalytic chlorination of benzene (B) at 40\deg C and 160 kPa absolute. In the process, dichlorobenzene (D) is generated as a coproduct:
C6H6+ Cl2-> C6H5CI + HCI
C6H5CI + CI2-> C6H4Cl2+ HCI
1.Chlorobenzene (C) has molecular weight 112.56(you can find these on table B.1 in text), Benzene (B) has molecular weight 78.11 and dichlorobenzene has molecular weight of 147.01. What is the mole fraction of C in the liquid product?
2.What is the mole fraction of B in the liquid product?
3.What is the mole fraction of D in the liquid product?
4.Perform a carbon balance around the reactor. What is the moles of B fed to the reactor? Choose as a basis of calculation 1 kg of liquid leaving the reactor.
5.What is the moles of Cl2 entering the reactor using the same basis as in problem 4?
6.What is the moles of gas leaving the reactor using the same basis as in question 4?
7.Calculate the moles of gas out per kg of B fed to the reactor
8.Determine the volume in m3 of gas out of the reactor per kg of B fed to the reactor.
