The formation of orthonitroaniline (an important intermediate in dyes—called fast orange)...

The formation of orthonitroaniline (an important intermediate in dyes—called fast orange) is formed from the reaction of orthonitroaniline (ONCB) and aqueous ammonia. (See Table 3-1 and Example 9-2.)

The liquid-phase reaction is first order in both ONCB and ammonia with k = 0.0017 m3/kmol · min at 188 °C with E = 11,273 cal/mol. The initial entering concentrations of ONCB and ammonia are 1.8 kmol/m3 and 6.6 kmol/m3, respectively (more on this reaction in Chapter 9).

(a) Write the rate law for the rate of disappearance of ONCB in terms of concentration.

(b) Set up a stoichiometric table for this reaction for a flow system.

(c) Explain how parts (a) and (b) would be different for a batch system.

(g) What would be the corresponding CSTR reactor volume at 25 °C to achieve 90% conversion at 25 °C and at 288 °C for a feed rate of 2 dm3/min
