Chapter 4, Problem 4.8P

The gas-phase reaction

1 2 N 2 + 3 2 H 2 NH 3

is to be carried out isothermally first in a flow reactor. The molar feed is 50% H2 and 50% N2, at a pressure of 16.4 atm and at a temperature of 227°C.

  1. (a) Construct a complete stoichiometric table.
  2. (b) Express the concentrations in mol/dm3 of each for the reacting species as a function of conversion. Evaluate CA0, δ, and ε, and then calculate the concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen when the conversion of H2 is 60%.
  3. (c) Suppose by chance the reaction is elementary with k N 2 = 40  dm 3 /mol/s . Write the rate of reaction solely as a function of conversion for (1) a flow reactor and for (2) a constant-volume batch reactor.
