Chapter 2, Problem 2.43P
Interpretation Introduction

(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 mechanism for this reaction.

The proposed reaction mechanism predicts that CA and t should be related by the expression,

lnCACAeCA0CAe=kt

where,CA=ConcentrationofA,CAe=ConcentrationofAwhent=infinity

The CA0 and CAe are given hence we can plot concentration of A versus time (t).

Interpretation Introduction

(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,

lnCACAeCA0CAe=kt

where,CA=ConcentrationofA,CAe=ConcentrationofAwhent=infinity

Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Q. IV: Aqueous solutions of the amino-acid L-isoleucine (Ile) are prepared by putting 100.0 grams of pure water into each of six flasks and adding different precisely weighed quantities of lle to each flask. The densities of the solutions at 50.0±0.05°C are then measured with a precision densitometer, with the following results. r (g lle/100 g H2O) 0.000 p (g solution/cm³) 0.8821 0.98803 0.98984 1.7683 0.99148 2.6412 3.4093 0.99297 0.99439 4.2064 0.99580 (a) Plot a calibration curve showing the mass ratio, r, as a function of solution density, p, and fit a straight line to the data to obtain an equation of the form r = ap + b. (b) The volumetric flow rate of an aqueous lle solution at a temperature of 50°C is 150 L/h. The density of the sample of the stream is measured and found to be 0.9940 g/cm³. Use the calibration equation to estimate the mass flow rate of lle in the stream (in kg lle/h). (c) It has been later discovered that the thermocouple used to measure the stream temperature…
chemical engineering. The answer is minus 1.26 KJ/mol for H(3).  Demonstrate the reference state to the process state and calculations.  I only need help for determing that variable.
Exhaust gas from a power plant passes through a 15-by-20-it rectangular duct at an average velocity of 50 ft/s. The total length of duct is 250 ft and there are two 90° bends.The gas is at 180°F and about 1 atm, and the properties are similar to those of air. Calculate the pressure drop in the duet and the power required to overcome pressure losses.
