Sodium hypochlorite is formed according to the reaction 2NaOH + Cl2NaOCI + NaCl + HO in a continuous reactor by bubbling Cl, through a concentrated 40% (mass) NaOH solution. Suppose the solution of NaOH in HO is fed at 1000 kg/h and the Cl gas, at 10 kgmol/h. (a) Calculate the degree of freedom assuming the conversion is specified. (b) Determine which is the limiting reactant. (c) Calculate the outlet composition of the reactor assuming 100% con- version of the limiting reactant. (d) Calculate the outlet composition of the reactor assuming 60% conver- sion of the limiting reactant.
