The reaction between ethylene and hydrogen bromide to form ethyl bromide is carried out in a continuous reactor. The product stream is analyzed and found to contain 54.7 mol% C2H5Br and 17.3 mol% HBr. The feed to the reactor contains only ethylene and hydrogen bromide. Calculate the fractional conversion of the limiting reactant and the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess. If the molar flow rate of the feed stream is 325 mol/s, what is the extent of reaction?
