Liquid A decomposes with nth-order kinetics in a batch reactor A->B, r =kca. the conversion of A reaches 50% in a five minute
1 answer:
Answer:
A) 1
B) 2.5
C) 3.32
Explanation:
The possibility of n=1 is not achievable in 20 minutes and 30 minutes as calculated n=1 for 10 minutes. The same conversion cannot be achieved for the rest of the time which is impossible as 75% conversion and it cannot be achieved at 10 min and 20 min at the same time
A) what is the order of the reaction if it takes 10 minutes to reach 75% conversion
= n ( order ) = 1
B) what is the order of reaction if it takes 20 minutes to reach 75% conversion
= n ( order ) ≈ 2.5
C) what is the order of reaction if it takes 30 minutes to reach 75% conversion
= n ( order ) ≈ 3.32

I can't answer this question without knowing what the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter is. Luckily, I found a similar problem from another website which is shown in the attached picture.
Q = nCpΔT
Q = (1.14 g)(1 mol/114 g)(6.97 kJ/kmol·°C)(10°C)(1000 mol/1 kmol)
<em>Q = +6970 kJ</em>
Q = nCpΔT
Q = (1.14 g)(1 mol/114 g)(6.97 kJ/kmol·°C)(10°C)(1000 mol/1 kmol)
<em>Q = +6970 kJ</em>
