Question

For the preparation of methyl iodide, 200 lbs/day of Hydroiodic acid are added to excess methanol.

HI + CH3OH → CH3I + H2O

If the product contains 81.6 % along with the unreacted methanol and waste contains 82.65% HI and 17.35 % H20, calculate, assuming that the reaction is 40% complete in the vessel;
