Question

The reversible liquid reaction, A ↔ 2R, takes place in a batch reactor charged with 2000 L of initial mixture which contains 800 moles of A. After 8 minutes, conversion of A is 33.3% while equilibrium conversion is 66.7%.

Evaluate the following:

a. equilibrium constant

b.  rate constant of the forward and reverse reaction

c.  number of batches that can be run per day if each batch must attain 60% conversion of A and downtime for dumping/cleaning is 20 min. Assume 24 hours per day operation.

note: this is a kinetics subject
