This document provides information to calculate the heat removed or added to a reactor for the conversion of cyclohexane to benzene. It gives the standard heat of reaction and describes a reactor operating at 70% conversion of cyclohexane. It also provides the temperatures and compositions of the entering and exiting materials, which include cyclohexane, nitrogen, and the products. The problem asks to calculate the heat for the exit gases leaving at 25C and 300C.

Calculate the standard heat of reaction for the conversion of cyclohexane

to benzene :

If the reactor for the conversion operates at 70% conversion of C6H12,


what is the heat removed from or added to the reactor if (a) the exit
gases leave at 25C and (b) the exit gases leave at 300C and the entering
materials consist of C6H12 together with one-half mole of N2 per mole
of C6H12, both at 25C?
