(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The initial concentration of B $\left(C_{\text{B0}}\right)$ in $\text{mol}/{\text{dm}}^{\text{3}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

In reversible reactions, the isothermal reactor design follows the same technique as used in irreversible reactions. The only exception is of the equilibrium conversion. It is defined as the maximum conversion which is achieved at the reaction temperature. It is denoted by $X_{\text{e}}$.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The limiting reactant for the reaction is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The limiting reagent refers to the compound that is fully utilized after the completion of chemical reaction. It predicts the quantity of the product formed in a reaction.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The exit concentration of B $\left(C_{\text{B0}}\right)$ for the $25\%$ conversion of A in $\text{mol}/{\text{dm}}^{\text{3}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

In reversible reactions, the isothermal reactor design follows the same technique as used in irreversible reactions. The only exception is of the equilibrium conversion. It is defined as the maximum conversion which is achieved at the reaction temperature. It is denoted by $X_{\text{e}}$.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An expression for the rate $\left(-r_{\text{A}}\right)$ as a sole function of conversion for the elementary, reversible, gas-phase, isothermal reaction with no pressure drop with an equal molar feed rate is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In reversible reactions, the isothermal reactor design follows the same technique as used in irreversible reactions. The only exception is of the equilibrium conversion. It is defined as the maximum conversion which is achieved at the reaction temperature. It is denoted by $X_{\text{e}}$.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equilibrium conversion is to be evaluated.

Concept Introduction:

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate for the following conversion is to be calculated.

(1) $0\%$

(2) $50\%$

(3) $0.99{\text{X}}_{\text{e}}$
