Read problem again. Suppose that you have measured the reaction products from a given reactor and found that they contained 3.00 kg of chlorine, 10.00 kg of phosgene, and 7.00 kg of CO. Calculate the following:
a. The percent excess reactant used
b. The percentage conversion of the limiting reactant
c. The kilogram moles of phosgene formed per kilogram mole of total reactants fed to the reactor
Problem:
Phosgene gas is probably most famous for being the first toxic gas used offensively in World War I, but it is also used extensively in the chemical processing of a wide variety of materials. Phosgene can be made by the catalytic reaction between CO and chlorine gas in the presence of a carbon catalyst. The chemical reaction is
CO + Cl2 → COCl2
Suppose that you have measured the reaction products from a given reactor and found that they contained 3.00 lb mol of chlorine, 10.00 lb mol of phosgene, and 7.00 lb mol of CO. Calculate the extent of reaction, and using the value calculated, determine the initial amounts of CO and Cl2 that were used in the reaction.
