Question

The formation of nitroanaline(an important intermediate in dyes) is formed from the reaction of orthonitrochlorobenzene(ONCB) and aqueous ammonia with ammonium chloride as a by product.

Let the reaction be represented symbolically as A+2B=C+D

The reaction occurs in the liquid phase and is first order in both ONCB and ammonia with k=0.0017m3/kmol.min at 461K with E= 11273cal/mol. The initial entering concentrations of A(ONCB) and B(ammonia) are 1.8kmol/m3 and 6.6kmol/m3 respectively.

a) set up a stoichiometric table for this reaction for a flow system.

b) write the rate law for the disappearance of ONCB, - rA solely as a function of conversion X

c) what is the rate of reaction, - rA when X=0.9 at

i 461K ii. 561K

d) what would be the CSTR reactor volume to achieve 90% conversion at 561K for a molar feed rate of 2mol/min.Calculate the space time for this reactor.

(use R=1.987cal/mol.K, where R is the universal gas constant)
