12. Commercial hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfate are produced by the reaction: NaCl + H2O + SO3 = Na2SO4 + HCI The reaction is carried at 482°C. After separation of the NażSO4, the HCI is to be absorbed in water. Per 1000 kg of sodium chloride charged, how much Na2SO4 and 87% by wt aqueous hydrochloric acid solution are obtained if the reaction goes to 90% completion? If the SO3 is supplied 20% in excess and H2O, 100 % in excess of the theoretical amount, how much 98% sulfuric (SO3and H2O) and fresh water should be fed to the reactor?

Question
12. Commercial hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfate are produced by the reaction:
NaCl + H2O + SO3 = Na2SO4 + HCI
The reaction is carried at 482°C. After separation of the NażSO4, the HCI is to be absorbed in water. Per
1000 kg of sodium chloride charged, how much NażSO4 and 87% by wt aqueous hydrochloric acid solution
are obtained if the reaction goes to 90% completion? If the SO3 is supplied 20% in excess and H2O, 100 % in
excess of the theoretical amount, how much 98% sulfuric (SO3and H2O) and fresh water should be fed to
the reactor?
