An irreversible reaction gave 90.% conversion in a batch reactor at 40.°C in 10.0 minutes and only required 3.0 minutes at 50.°C. a) You don't know what order this reaction is... At what temperature can 90.% conversion be reached in 1.0 minute in the same batch reactor and starting concentration? (DO THIS LAST) b) If this reaction is 1st order, find the times needed to reach 99% conversion at 40.°C and 50.°C. c) If this reaction is 2nd order, find...
An aqueous solution containing reactant A is fed to a batch reactor, operated as part of a continuous process involving other equipment. The feed rate to the reactor is 500 L/min. The reaction, A + 2B rightarrow C is second order irreversible, with the rate expression given as rr_A = 0.04 C_AC_B, gmole/L middot min If C_A0 = 1.7 gmole/L and C_B0 = 3.0 gmole/L, what is the size of the reactor required to obtain an 80% conversion of A?...
For a batch reactor with an initial concentration CA = 1 mol/l calulate the time required to achieve X= 0.9. Assume first order reaction and k = 0.2 min -1. Same, but for X=0.4
A first-order reaction (A → B) is known to be 40% complete after 30 minutes in a batch reactor. How long is required to achieve 95% completion? Assume the initial concentration of the reactant is 100 mg/L.
1) A batch reactor contains, initially, a volume of V-10m3 with a concentration of A CA-0.1 mol/m3 and B CB=0.2 mol/m3. The reversible reaction starts at t=0: A ->B with a 1st order reaction rate k-1 1/sec B->A with a 1st order reaction rate k-2 1/sec The density of the solution is independent of A,B concentration. a) What are the concentrations of A and B after 1 min? b) What are the concentrations of A and B at equilibrium? c)...
A zero-order reaction (A rightarrow B) is known to be 40% complete after 30 minutes in a batch reactor. How long is required to achieve 95% completion? Assume the initial concentration of the reactant is 100 mg/L.
this is 1 question with parts a and b, please explain while solving 1 A batch reactor is a perfectly mixed vessel where a chemical reaction is carried out for a given time. Typically, there is no input or output flow and the process is time-dependent (see Figure 1). c(t) Figure 1 (a) Given a first order chemical reaction with rate R = -kc, where k is the reaction constant and c the concentration of a given reacting species and...
Exercise 4.4: Catalyst deactivation in a batch reactor Consider the irreversible, liquid-phase isomerization reaction carried out in a solvent containing dissolved catalyst at 25°C in a batch reactor Aka B The apparent first-order reaction-rate constant, ka, decreases with time because of cat- alyst deterioration. A chemist colleague of yours has studied the catalyst deactivation process and has proposed that it can be modeled by ka= Tt kat in which k is the fresh catalyst rate constant and ka is the...
Question 2 For an isothermal, constant volume batch reactor in which the following reaction is occurring A - B A laboratory technician measures the rate of reaction of A in a reactor for different concentrations, and obtains the following data: CA 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 1.0 [mol.L' -TA 0.1 0.4 0.9 1.6 2.5 3.6 4.9 6.4 10 (mol.L-min'] The laboratory technician tells you that if you plot - r against (CA) that you get a straight...
R2 - HOMOGENEOUS REACTOR (THE HYDROLYSIS OF PHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE) The following hydrolysis of phthalic anhydride (PAN) to phthalic acid (PA) reaction takes place in a batch homogeneous reactor.
