7. The hydrolysis of propylene oxide ('po' Mw 58) to propylene glycol ('pg' Mw 76) is scaled up to a 10 m³ agitated reactor. The proposed process is to charge 2100kg of 30wt% PO in to 6000 kg of a water and catalyst mixture in the vessel. The density of all fluids is 1000 the reaction rate is given by: kg m ། po+water →pg (-Rpo) = 0.7 [po] mol/L.s To limit the temperature in the vessel, the reaction rate may exceed 0.0001 mol/L.s; The maximum addition rate for the process is: a. 6.96 L/min v b. 3.48 L/min C. 1.74 L/min d. 0.87 L/min e. 0.44 L/min f. 0.21 L/min
