Answer to Question #234271 in Chemical Engineering for Lucky

Question

b) The first order reversible liquid phase reaction A⬌R. takes place in batch reactor. After 8 minutes, conversion of A is 33.3% while equilibrium conversion is 66.7%. Find the rate equation to represent this reaction. Take CAo= 0:5 mol/l and CRo=0.

Answer 1

The reaction involves first order liquid phase:

Conversion of A takes: 8 minutes and 33.3%

Equilibrium: 66.7%

CAo= 0:5 mol/l

CRo=0.  

 

Therefore rate of reaction is:
