Chemistry

In the Deacon process for the manufacture of chlorine, HCl andO2 react to form Cl2 and H2O. Sufficient air (21 mole % O2, 79% N2)is fed to provide 35.0% excess oxygen and the fractional conversionof HCl is 75.0%.

a. Calculate the mole fractions of the product stream componentsusing atomic species balances in your calculation.

b. Again calculate the mole fractions of the product streamcomponents using the extent of reaction and stoichiometriccoefficients in the calculation for the conditions of 40.0% excessoxygen and a fractional conversion of HCl of 80.0%
