Question

A liquid phase reaction, A → B, is to be carried out in an isothermal, well mixed batch reactor with a volume of 1L. Initially there are 6 moles of A. The rate of destruction of A is given by –rA =k1CA/ (1+k2CA), where k1=4, k2 =5. The unit of time in the rate constants is hours. Calculate the time, in hours, that the reaction must proceed in the reactor in order to result in 3 moles of A remaining in the reactor.

Answer 1

Answer:

the time, in hours = 4.07hrs
