Question

Consider the following elementary gas-phase reversible reaction to be carried out isothermally with no pressure drop and for an equal molar feed of A and B with CA0 = 2.0 mol/dm3.

        2A + B← ⎯⎯⎯⎯→ C
(a) What is the concentration of B initially? CB0 = ____ (mol/dm3)
(b) What is the limiting reactant? ______
(c) What is the exit concentration of B when the conversion of A is 25%? CB = _____ (mol/dm3)
(d) Write -rA solely as a function of conversion (i.e., evaluating all symbols) when the reaction is an elementary, reversible, gas-phase, isothermal reaction with no pressure drop with an equal molar feed and with CA0 = 2.0 mol/dm3, kA= 2 dm6/mol2•s, and KC = 0.5 all in proper units-rA = ____.
(e) What is the equilibrium conversion?
(f) What is the rate when the conversion is
(1) 0%?
(2) 50%?
(3) 0.99 Xe?
