Answer to Question #287941 in Chemical Engineering for Cabik.J

Question

Chemical P was fed into a CSTR reactor to react with an excess amount of chemical Q to produce chemical R. However, during the reaction, chemical S was also produced by conversion of chemical R. The reactions involve liquids and follow elementary rate law as follow:

 

P + Q → R (1)

R → S (2)

 

The reaction rate constant for chemical P for the first reaction was given as 4 dm3mol-1s-1, while the reaction rate constant for chemical R for the second reaction was given as 6 dm3mol-1s-1. The entering concentration of chemical P was 10 mol dm-3. Answer the following questions using the given information.

 

a) Write the net rate law for chemical P, R and S. (6 Marks)

 

b) Write the concentration of chemical P, R and S in terms of space time. (14 Marks)
