In the Deacon process for the manufacture of chlorine, HCl and O2 react to form Cl2 and

H2O. Sufficient air (21 mole % O2, 79 % N2) is fed to provide 35% excess oxygen, and the

fractional conversion of HCl is 85%.
a. Write down and balance the stoichiometric equation for this reaction.
b. Draw and label a process flow diagram of the process.
c. Perform the degree of freedom.
d. Calculate the mole fractions of the product stream components, using atomic

species balances in your calculation.
