Consider a pair of reactions in which propylene ( C 3 H 6 ) reacts with chloride C l 2 to produce allyl chlorides (

Consider a pair of reactions in which propylene (C3H6) reacts with chloride Cl2 to produce allyl chlorides (C3H5Cl,C3H6Cl2) :
C3H6(g)+Cl2(g)C3H5Cl(g)+HCl(g)
C3H6(g)+Cl2(g)C3H6Cl2(g)
C3H6 is propylene (propene))=(42.08
C3H5Cl is allyl chloride (3-chloropropene))=(76.53
C3H6Cl2 is propylene chloride (1,2-dichloropropane))=(112.99
The species recovered after the reaction takes place for some time are listed in the table below.
\table[[Species,mol],[Cl2,141.0],[C3H6,651.0],[C3H5Cl,4.6],[C3H6Cl2,24.5],[HCl,4.6]]
Based on the product distribution assuming that no allyl chlorides were present in the feed, calculate the following:
a) Draw a diagram of the process.
b) How much Cl2 and C3H6 were fed to the reactor in mol?
c) What was the limiting reactant?
d) What was the excess reactant?
e) What was the fraction conversion of C3H6 to C3H5Cl?
f) What was the selectivity of C3H5Cl relative to C3H6Cl2?
g) What was the yield of C3H5Cl expressed in g of C3H5Cl expressed in g of C3H5Cl to the g of C3H6 fed to the reactor?
