Question
The nitration of aromatic compounds is an exothermic reaction. With N2O5 (reactant A) employed as the nitrating agent the chemical reaction is given as A + 2 B → 2 C + D. The reaction of nitration of benzene is carried out in the liquid phase of an adiabatic CSTR. The reaction is first order in A and second order in B. The molar flow rates of A and B entering the reactor at 330 K are FA0= 25 mol min–1and FB0= 32 mol min–1, respectively. The volumetric flow rate is v= 1200 L min–1.
Other data is attached in the image below.
