(a) Compare Table 5-3 on laboratory reactors with a similar tab le on page 269 of Bisio and Kabel (see Supplementary Reading, listing 1). What are the similarities and differences?

(b) Which of the ICM's for Chapters 4 and 5 was the most fun?

(c) Choose a FAQ from Chapters 4 and 5 and say why it was the most helpful.

(d) Listen to the audios  on the CD and pick one and say why it could be eliminated.

(e) Create an original problem based on Chapter 5 material.

(f) Design an experiment for the undergraduate laboratory that demonstrates the principles of chemical reaction engineering and will cost less than $500 in purchased parts to build. (From 1998 AIChE National Student Chapter Competition) Rules are provided on the CD-ROM.

(g) Plant a number of seeds in different pots (corn works well). The plant and soil of each pot will be subjected to different conditions. Measure the height of the plant as a function of time and fertilizer concentration. Other variables might include lighting, pH, and room temperature.

(h) Example 5-1. Discuss the differences for finding shown in Table E5-3.1 by the three techniques.

(i) Example 5-2. Construct a table and plot similar to Table E5-2.1 and Figure E5-2.1, assuming a zero-order and a first-order react ion. Looking at the plots, can either of these orders possibly explain the data?

(j) Example S-3. Explain why the regression had to be carried out twice to find k' and k.

(k) Example S-4. Use regression to analyze the data in Table E5-4.1. What do you find for the reaction order?

(I) Example 5-S. Regress the data to fit the rate law

What is the difference in the correlation and sums-of-squares compared with those given in Example 5-5? Why was it necessary to regress the data twice, once to obtain Table E5-5.3 and once to obtain Table E5-5.4?
