1 answer:

6 0

The item that has many close substitutes tend to have an elastic demand since this means that the consumers have a lot of variations to choose from. This makes the demand for the item very dependent on the number of consumers this item caters. The more substitutes mean more competition, more choices for the consumers, less demand for a particular item.

Suppose your principal objective is to maximize the selectivity of monochloroethane production relative to dichloroethane produc

Makovka662 [10]

We are given the series of chemical reactions:

Ethane is chlorinated in a continuous reactor:

C2H6 + Cl2 --> C2H5Cl + HCl

But some of the product monochloroethane becomes further chlorinated by an undesired side reaction:

C2H5Cl + Cl2 --> C2H4Cl2 + HCl

So to avoid the product monochloroethane to be further chlorinated, there must be fast processing or fast conversion of ethane so that there would less time for further chlorination. Hence we must design the reactor for high conversion of ethane.

To make the process economical, there must be a downstream separation step that would separate the main product monochloroethane from the undesired product dichloroethane.
