Ans WS3 3rd Q 2016-2017

The document contains two chemistry problems involving chemical reactions and stoichiometry. Problem 1 involves the Deacon process where HCl and O2 react to form Cl2 and H2O. It asks to calculate the mole fractions of products using extent of reaction and atomic balance methods. Problem 2 involves anaerobic fermentation where glucose reacts to form ethanol and propenoic acid. It provides the inputs and outputs and asks to calculate the weight percentages of ethanol and propenoic acid in the product broth using extent of reaction and atomic balance methods.

1. In the Deacon process for the manufacture of Chlorine, HCl and O2 react to form
Cl2 and H2O. Sufficient oxygen is fed to provide 25 % excess oxygen, and the
conversion of HCl is 70 %.
Calculate the mole fractions of the product stream components using
a) Extent of reaction method
25 % excess O2

Cl balance:
100(1) = n Cl2 (2) + 30 (1)
n Cl2 = 35
H balance:
100(1) = n H2O (2) + 30 (1)
n H2O = 35
O balance:
31.25(2) = (35) + n O2 (2)
n O2 = 13.75

2. In the anaerobic fermentation of grain, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae digests


glucose from plants to form the products ethanol and propenoic acid by the
following overall reactions:

Reaction 1: C6H12O6 (aq) → 2C2H5OH (aq)+ 2CO2 (g)

Reaction 2: C6H12O6 (aq) → 2C2H3CO2H (aq) + 2H2O (l)

In an open flow reactor 3500 kg of a 12% glucose-water solution flow in. During
fermentation, 120 kg of carbon dioxide gas are produced together with 90 kg of
unreacted glucose. What are the weight percent of ethyl alcohol and propenoic
acid that exit in the broth?
