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

tion. would you design the reactor for a high or low conversion of ethane? explain your answer. (hint: if the reactor contents remained in the reactor long enough for most of the ethane in the feed to be consumed, what would the main product constituent probably be?) what additional processing steps would almost certainly be carried out to make the process economically sound?

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.

Archie Co. purchased a framing machine for $45,000 on January 1, 2021. The machine is expected to have a four-year life, with a
k0ka [10]

Answer: $10,000 and $25,000

Explanation:

DEPRECIATION FOR 2022.

Straight line method of depreciation means it depreciates by the same amount every year. You can calculate by

(Cost - Residual Value) / useful life.

=($45,000 - $5,000) / 4

= $10,000.

Each year the framing machine reduces by $10,000 meaning in 2022 the depreciation will be $10,000.

BOOK VALUE AT DECEMBER 31, 2022

We've established that every year the value drops by $10,000.

On December 31, 2021, it dropped by $10,000.

On December 31, 2022, it dropped by another $10,000.

Adding that together gives you 10,000 + 10,000 = $20,000.

$20,000 is the total depreciation at the end of 2022.

Subtract that figure from the cost,

=$45,000-$20,000

=$25,000.

BOOK VALUE ON DECEMBER 31, 2022 is $25,000.
