Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
If the data support this prediction should be identified. The value of k should be determined.
Concept introduction:
A chemical reaction is carried out to convert the reactant A to the final product B. A set of data is taken by measuring the concentration of A with time (t). The author has predicted a reaction
The proposed reaction mechanism predicts that CA and t should be related by the expression,
The
(b)
Interpretation:
If the tank volume is 125 L and there is no B in the tank at t=0, the mass of the content in tank after two hours should be calculated.
Concept introduction:
A chemical reaction is carried out to convert the reactant A to the final product B. A set of data is taken by measuring the concentration of A with time (t). The author has predicted a reaction mechanism for this reaction.
A proposed reaction mechanism predicts that CA and t should be related by the expression,
(c)
Interpretation:
The time required for the final concentration of A to reach 1.1.1.05 and 1.01 times CAe , should be estimated and the mass of B produced at each of these conditions for the reactor described in Part (b) should be calculated.
