A reaction A B + C is carried out in a CSTR where pure A enters at 8 mol/min. Using the reaction
data in the table above,
a) Calculate the volume required to reach 85% conversion of A.
b) Graphically display the area required to achieve a conversion of 85%.
c) If the same reaction was carried out in a PFR, what would the volume be for a conversion of
60%?

QUESTION TWO
The rate constant for a second-order reaction at 85 degrees Celsius is 2.5 and the activation energy
is 20 KJ/mole. What are the units of the rate constant? At what temperature would the rate be triple
(of the rate at 85 degrees Celsius) for this reaction?

QUESTION THREE
A gas phase reaction
2A + B ---> C + D
takes place in a PFR at a constant pressure of 25 atm and temperature of 350 K. The feed at a flow
rate of 5 dm3/min is 20% A and 80% B. Determine the PFR volume. The reaction is irreversible and
follows an elementary rate law. X = 0.9 and the rate constant is k = 8 dm6/mol2.s. Vo = 5dm3.
a) Construct a stoichiometric table.
b) Determine the volume required to reach the above-mentioned conversion.
c) Calculate the time it takes to reach the conversion.
