Chemistry

Ethane is chlorinated in a continuous reactor: C2H6 +Cl2 →C2H5Cl + HCl Some of the product monochloroethane is furtherchlorinated in an undesired side reaction: C2H5Cl +Cl2 → C2H4Cl2 +HCl

a. Take a basis of 100 mol of C2H5Cl produced. Assume that thefeed contains only ethane and chlorine and that all of the chlorineis consumed. How many degrees of freedom remain (use atomicbalances)?

b. The reactor is designed toyield a 19% conversion of ethane and a selectivity of 8 mol C2H5Cl/ mol C2H4Cl2 with a negligible amount of chlorine in the productgas. Calculate the feed ratio (mol Cl2/mol C2H6).

Calculate the fractional yield(mol C2H5Cl produced / mol Cl2 consumed)

I did part a i am just confused about part b
