Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The units of k should be determined.
Concept introduction:
It is given that a reaction A ⟶B is carried out in a lab scale reactor. The concentration of A vary with time as follows,
Where CA0 = initial concentration of A, k = Constant and t = time
(b)
Interpretation:
Verify the proposed rate law graphically and estimate CA0 and k.
Concept introduction:
It is given that a reaction A ⟶B is carried out in a lab scale reactor. The concentration of A vary with time as follows,
Where CA0 = initial concentration of A, k = Constant and t = time
Following data are given,
t (min) | 0.5 | 1 | 1.5 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 10 |
CA (lb-mole/ft3) | 1.02 | 0.84 | 0.69 | 0.56 | 0.38 | 0.17 | 0.02 |
(c)
Interpretation:
Convert the formula to given units and estimate the molarity at t=265 s.
Concept introduction:
It is given that a reaction A ⟶B is carried out in a lab scale reactor. The concentration of A vary with time as follows,
Where CA0 = initial concentration of A, k = Constant and t = time
