(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the example given is correct or not if water is considered inert is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The rate law of the chemical reaction states that the rate of reaction is the function of the concentration of the reactants and the products present in that specific reaction. The rate is actually predicted by the slowest step of the reaction.
The full form of CSTR is Continuous-Stirred Tank Reactor. This reaction has its application in the industrial processes. This reactor actually used for liquid-phase reactions.
The conversion, X can be defined as the moles of any species A that are reacted per mole of A fed in the reactor.
(b)
Interpretation:
The change in answer of the example if the initial concentration of glycerol stearate is

(c)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the equilibrium conversion lowers for the batch system than the flow system is to be stated. Whether this case will always be for constant-volume batch reactor is to be stated. The graphs for equilibrium conversion as a function of the mole fraction of inerts for both a PFR and a constant-volume batch reactor are to be plotted.
Concept Introduction:
The full form of PFR is Plug-Flow Reactor which consists of a cylindrical pipe and it is used for the gas-phase reactions. It is also known as tubular reactor.
The full form of CSTR is Continuous-Stirred Tank Reactor. This reaction has its application in the industrial processes. This reactor actually used for liquid-phase reactions.
The conversion, X can be defined as the moles of any species A that are reacted per mole of A fed in the reactor.
(d)
Interpretation:
The PFR catalyst weight that is required to achieve
