(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

cies A at 200 mg/L. The reaction proceeds with 1st order kinetics and a reaction rate of 5.09 hr-1. Determine the concentration of species A leaving the reactor. (8 pts) b. If a plug flow reactor was designed to have the same efficieny as the CSTR in Part A, what would the volume of the PFR be

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

Which of the following is one way to prevent the corrosion of iron? 
Drupady [299]
B: Painting over a metal surface in order to prevent rust is known as rust proofing and it works by preventing oxygen and water from reaching the metal surface thus preventing a redox reaction which would result in rusting.

How many grams of chlorine gas react when 266.28 grams of aluminum reacts
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

524.82 g Cl2

Explanation:

Balanced Equation:

2Al(s) + 3Cl(g) ⇒ 2AlCl (s)

Al: 26.982 g/mol     Cl: 35.453 g/mol

266.28g Al x 1mol Al/ 26.982g Al x 3mol Cl2/ 2mol Al x

35.453g Cl2/ 1mol Cl2 = 524.82 g Cl2
