Question 10
The gas phase reaction 2A →B + C is carried out isothermally in a 30 dm3 well-mixed constant volume batch reactor. Pure A at an initial amount of 66.3 moles/dm3is placed into the reactor. If the rate of destruction of A is given by –rA = kCA, with k = 0.08 min-1, determine the concentration of A (in moles/dm3) after 5 minutes. Note that concentration is moles divided by volume. Express your answer to one decimal place.
Hi here is the solution for your question. I hope I could help you in future also. If anything is not clear to you please let me know before giving your valuable feedback. I would love to elaborate that. Thanks
Given:
Constant volume batch Reactor
V= 30 dm3
CA0 = 66.3 mol/dm3
First order reaction
K= 0.08 min-1
Find
CA after 5 minutes
Solution:
We will apply the mole balance on whole volume of batch Reactor.
In batch reactor there is no inflow and no outflow occurs.
If anything is not clear to you please let me know before giving your valuable feedback. Thanks
