Material Balance

The reaction between ethylene and hydrogen bromide to form ethyl bromide is carried out in a continuous reactor. The product stream is analysed and is found to contain 51.09%C2H5Br and 27.01%HBr by moles. The feed to the reactor contains only ethylene and hydrogen bromide. a) Calculate the number of moles of C2H4 in the feed based on 100 moles of total products. Enter your answer to 1 decimal place. mol b) Calculate the number of moles of HBr present in the feed using the same basis. Enter your answer to 1 decimal place. mol The reaction between ethylene and hydrogen bromide to form ethyl bromide is carried out in a continuous reactor.
