A pollutant is being removed in a batch reactor by a 2nd order reaction. 1) Write the rate  equation for the 2nd order reaction in the batch reactor. 2) Determine the pollutant concentration at the  end of the reaction, which is 10 hours from the beginning of the reaction. It is known that the initial  concentration is 300mg/L and the concentration reduces to 100mg/L after 5 hours. (1/C = 1/C_o + kt).

Question

A pollutant is being removed in a batch reactor by a 2nd order reaction. 1) Write the rate 
equation for the 2nd order reaction in the batch reactor. 2) Determine the pollutant concentration at the 
end of the reaction, which is 10 hours from the beginning of the reaction. It is known that the initial 
concentration is 300mg/L and the concentration reduces to 100mg/L after 5 hours. (1/C = 1/C_o + kt).

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data 

2nd order reaction

initial concentration is 300mg/L

concentration reduces to 100mg/L at times t= 5hr

Final time t= 10 hr
