A liquid-phase isomerization is carried out in a 1000-gal CSTR that has a single impeller located halfway down the reactor. The

liquid enters at the top of the reactor and exits at the bottom. The reaction is second order. Experimental data taken in a batch reactor predicted the CSTR conversion should be 50%. However, the conversion measured in the actual CSTR was 57%.
A) Suggest reasons for the discrepancy and suggest something, e.g., a model, that would give closer agreement between the predicted and measured conversions. Back your suggestions with calculations. P.S. It was raining very hard that day.

Answer:

The conversion achieved for the first CSTR impeller is 0.382

Discrepancy = 0.188

Explanation:

The impeller divides the CSTR into 2 equal reactors of volume 500gal

Using V = FaoX/ (-ra)

500gal = Fao×Xa/[(KCao^2( 1 -X1)^2]

500gal = CaoVoX1/ KCao^2(1-X1)

500gal= 500gal × X1'/(1 - X1)^2

(1 -X1)^2 = X1

X1^2 - 3X1 + 1 = 0

X1= 0.382

Conversion achieved in the first CSTR is 0.382

Actual measured CSTR = 57% =57/100=0.57

Discrepancy in the conversions= 0.57 -0.383 =0.188

Keq for the reaction below is 2400. If the initial conditions of the reaction are a 1.0 L flask that contains 0.024 mol NO (g),
podryga [215]

Answer:

The answer to your question is it is not at equilibrium, it will move to the products.

Explanation:

Data

Keq = 2400

Volume = 1 L

moles of NO = 0.024

moles of N₂ = 2

moles of O₂ = 2.6

Process

1.- Determine the concentration of reactants and products

[NO] = 0.024 / 1 = 0.024

[N₂] = 2/1 = 2

[O₂] = 2.6/ 1= 2.6

2.- Balanced chemical reaction

                     N₂ + O₂    ⇒   2NO

3.- Write the equation for the equilibrium of this reaction

                     Keq = [NO]²/[N₂][O₂]

- Substitution

                    Keq = [0.024]² / [2][2.6]

-Simplification

                    Keq = 0.000576 / 5.2

-Result

                    Keq = 1.11 x 10⁻⁴

Conclusion

It is not at equilibrium, it will move to the products because the experimental Keq was lower than the Keq theoretical-

                         1.11 x 10⁻⁴ < 2400

A patients blood is tested for growth hormone which has a molecular mass of 848.952g/mol. The test results show a normal concent
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

\boxed{4.7\times 10^{-9}}

Explanation:

Data:

MM = 848.952 g/mol  

   c = 4.0 x 10⁻⁶ g/L

  V = 1 L

Calculations:

(a) Mass of growth hormone

\text{Mass} = \text{1 L} \times \dfrac{4.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g}}{\text{1 L}} = 4.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g}

(b) Moles of growth hormone

\text{Moles} = 4.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{848.952 g}} = 4.7\times 10^{-9}\text{ mol}\\\\\text{There are $\boxed{\mathbf{4.7\times 10^{-9}}\textbf{ mol}}$ of growth hormone in 1 L of blood.}
