Chapter 20, Problem 8P

The following data were taken from a stirred tank reactor for the reaction $A\to B$. Use these data to determine the best possible estimates for $k_{01}$ and $E_1$ for the following kinetic model,

$-\frac{dA}{dt}=k_{01}{e}^{-\frac{E_1}{RT}}A$

whereR is the gas constant and equals 0.00198 Kcal/mol/K.

$–dA\text{/}dt\left(\text{moles/L/s}\right)$	460	960	2485	1600	1245
$A\left(\text{moles/L}\right)$	200	150	50	20	10
T(K)	280	320	450	500	550
