A fictional company has been producing propene oxide, C3H6O, from propene, C3H6, with a 96.0% yield. The process requires the use of a compound called m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, C7H5O3Cl, which can be abbreviated as mCPBA. The entire reaction takes place in the solvent dichloromethane, CH2Cl2:

C3H6+C7H5O3ClCH2Cl2−−−⟶96.0% yieldC3H6O+C7H5O2Cl

The initial propene concentration in the solvent is 21.0 g/L.

Consider the prices of the following substances.

Substance Price per unit Unit
propene $10.97 kg
dichloromethane $2.12 L
mCPBA $5.28 kg
propene oxide $258.25 kg
Also consider that the cost of waste disposal is $5.00 per kilogram of propene oxide produced.

A relatively simple way of estimating profit is to consider the the difference between the cost (the total spent on materials and waste disposal) and the earnings (the price at which the product can be sold).

Calculate the profit from producing 26.00 kg of propene oxide.
