 Consider a second order reaction where ? → ?. The reaction is performed in a batch reactor
where the concentration of component A decreases from CA0=2.03 mol/L to CA=1.97 mol/L in
one minute. What is the reaction constant of this second order reaction

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data:

A space s e c o n d space o r d e r space r e a c t i o n space w i t h space r e s p e c t space t o space t h e space r e a c tan t space A.

T h e space i n i t i a l space c o n c e n t r a t i o n space o f space A comma
C subscript A o end subscript equals 2.03 fraction numerator m o l over denominator L end fraction

A f t e r comma space t equals 1 m i n
T h e space c o n c e n t r a t i o n space o f space A space b e c o m e s comma space
C subscript A equals 1.97 fraction numerator m o l over denominator L end fraction
