Calculate the standard heat of reaction for the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane to benzene in the vapor phase.
C6H12 = C6H6 + 3 H2
The reactor for this system operates at 70% conversion of cyclohexane. If the feed rate is 4000 kg of pure C6H12 per hour at 100oC, determine the rate of heat addition to or removal from the reactor that is required if the product gases leave the reactor at 300oC.
