Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The units of k should be determined.

Concept introduction:

It is given that a reaction A ⟶B is carried out in a lab scale reactor. The concentration of A vary with time as follows,

CA=CA0exp(kt)

Where CA0 = initial concentration of A, k = Constant and t = time

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Verify the proposed rate law graphically and estimate CA0 and k.

Concept introduction:

It is given that a reaction A ⟶B is carried out in a lab scale reactor. The concentration of A vary with time as follows,

CA=CA0exp(kt)

Where CA0 = initial concentration of A, k = Constant and t = time

Following data are given,

t (min) 0.5 1 1.5 2 3 5 10
CA (lb-mole/ft3) 1.02 0.84 0.69 0.56 0.38 0.17 0.02

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Convert the formula to given units and estimate the molarity at t=265 s.

Concept introduction:

It is given that a reaction A ⟶B is carried out in a lab scale reactor. The concentration of A vary with time as follows,

CA=CA0exp(kt)

Where CA0 = initial concentration of A, k = Constant and t = time
