The bromination of a hydrated amine complex in aqueous system was studied. The reaction is: Complex + Br2 (Complex-Br) + Br + H* The initial bromine concentration was 72.6 micromoles m3, while the initial complex concentration was 1.49 moles m3. The reaction is irreversible under these conditions. The following data were reported from the study. Number Br2 concentration in solution (micromole m3) Time, t (seconds) 1 72.6 432 684 63.6 58.9 3 4 936 55.3 1188 51.6 1422 48.1 7 1632 45.2 8 2058 2442 38.8 9 35.1 (a) In this case, what would be the limiting reactant? Explain your answer (b) Suggest a rate equation for the reaction studied. Give clear reasoning for your assumptions. (c) Using the data above, calculate the reaction rate constant. Clearly show the steps for your data analysis method. (d) It is wished to process a reaction mixture with a similar composition as stated at the beginning of this problem. The flow rate of the aqueous bromine – hydrated amine complex is 1000 L hr'. What would be the volume of a PFR needed to reduce the Br2 content by 99%? If you are unable to find a value of rate constant in (c) you may use a value of 1.5x103 s1.
