Answer: Redox reaction/displacement reaction

Explanation:

Zn + 2AgNO3----------> Zn(NO3)2+ 2Ag

Let us consider the change in oxidation number from left to right

Oxidation number of zinc changed from 0 to +2

Oxidation number of silver changed from +1 to 0

Zinc was oxidized while silver was reduced. This shows a redox process

Also Zinc displaced silver because silver is below zinc in the a electrochemical series of metals. That is, the electrode potential of zinc is more negative than that of silver hence it can displace silver from its salt.

2AgNO3 + Zn --> Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag
Its a redox reaction, Zn is oxidised (0 --> 2+), Ag is reduced (1+ --> 0)

(6) Compare a CSTR with a PFR below. a. A flow of 0.3 m3/s enters a CSTR (volume of 200 m3) with an initial concentration of spe

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The flow rate Q = 0.3 m³/s

Volume (V) = 200 m³

Initial concentration $C_o$ = 2.00 ms/l

reaction rate K = 5.09 hr⁻¹

Recall that:

$time (t) = \dfrac{V}{Q}$

$time (t) = \dfrac{200}{0.3}$

$time (t) = 666.66 \ sec$

$time (t) = \dfrac{666.66 }{3600} hrs$

$time (t) = 0.185 hrs$

$\text{Using First Order Reaction:}$

$\dfrac{dc}{dt}=kc$

where;

$t = \dfrac{1}{k} \Big( \dfrac{C_o}{C_e}-1 \Big)$

$0.185 = \dfrac{1}{5.09} \Big ( \dfrac{200}{C_e}- 1 \Big)$

$0.942 = \Big ( \dfrac{200}{C_e}- 1 \Big)$

$1+ 0.942 = \Big ( \dfrac{200}{C_e} \Big)$

$\dfrac{200}{C_e} = 1.942$

$C_e = \dfrac{200}{1.942}$

$\mathbf{C_e = 102.98 \ mg/l}$

Thus; the concentration of species in the reactant = 102.98 mg/l

b). If the plug flow reactor has the same efficiency as CSTR, Then:

$t _{PFR} = \dfrac{1}{k} \Big [ In ( \dfrac{C_o}{C_e}) \Big ]$

$\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{Q_{PFR}} = \dfrac{1}{k} \Big [ In ( \dfrac{C_o}{C_e}) \Big ]$

$\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{Q_{PFR}} = \dfrac{1}{5.09} \Big [ In ( \dfrac{200}{102.96}) \Big ]$

$\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{Q_{PFR}} =0.196 \Big [ In ( 1.942) \Big ]$

$\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{Q_{PFR}} =0.196(0.663)$

$\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{0.3 hrs} =0.196(0.663)$

$\dfrac{V_{PFR}}{0.3*3600 sec} =0.196(0.663)$

$V_{PFR} =0.196(0.663)*0.3*3600$

$V_{PFR} = 140.34 \ m^3$

The volume of the PFR is ≅ 140 m³
