Calculations
For T1 ,(40o) :
Conc. of NaOH entering the reactor,
CNaOH,0 = CNaOH,f
= 1/2 ( 0.1 )
= 0.05 mol/L
Volume of unreacted quenching HCl,
C NaOH,s
C HCl,s
V2 = V1
= ( 0.1 0.25 ) x 20
= 8 mL
Vol. of HCl reacted with NaOH in sample,
V3 =VHCl,s V2
= 10 ml 8 ml
= 2 ml
Moles of HCl reacted with NaOH in sample,
n1=(CHCl,s V3) / 1000
= (0.25 x 2 ) / 1000
= 0.0005 mol
Moles of unreacted NaOH in sample,
n2= n1
= 0.0005 mol
Conc. of unreacted NaOH in the reactor,
CNaOH = n2 / Vs 1000
= (0.0005 / 5000 ) x 1000
= 1x10-4 M
Conversion of NaOH in the reactor,

C NaOH,0
X = (1 ) 100%
= ( 1- ( 1x10-4 / 0.05 ) ) x 100 %
= 99.8 %

For T2 ,(43o) :
Conc. of NaOH entering the reactor,
CNaOH,0 = CNaOH,f
= 1/2 ( 0.1 )
= 0.05 mol/L
Volume of unreacted quenching HCl,
C NaOH,s
C HCl,s
V2 = V1
= ( 0.1 0.25 ) x 22.5
= 9 mL
Vol. of HCl reacted with NaOH in sample,
V3 =VHCl,s V2
= 10 ml 9 ml
= 1 ml
Moles of HCl reacted with NaOH in sample,
n1=(CHCl,s V3) / 1000
= (0.25 x 1 ) / 1000
= 0.00025 mol
Moles of unreacted NaOH in sample,
n2= n1
= 0.00025 mol
Conc. of unreacted NaOH in the reactor,
CNaOH = n2 / Vs 1000
= (0.00025 / 5000 ) x 1000
