Question

Consider the homogeneous reaction between sulfur vapor and methane to form carbon disulfide This elementary reaction has been studied experimentally in a small tubular reactor with a 35.2 cm3 volume. In a particular steady state run at 600 °C and 1 atm, a total of 1.32 mmol of CS2 were collected from the reactor outlet during 10 min of operation. The feed consisted of 4 mmol of S2/min plus a stoichiometric amount of CH4 Find the rate constant (k) for the reaction at 600 °C Assume: plug flow, ideal gas, isothermal operation
