Exercise 1
A 200-dm3 constant-volume batch reactor is pressurized to 20 atm with a
mixture of 75% A and 25% inert. The gas-phase reaction is carried out
isothermally at 227°C.
(a) Assuming that the ideal gas law is valid, how many
moles of A are in the reactor initially? What is the
initial concentration of A?
(b) If the reaction is first order: -rA = kCA with
Calculate the time necessary to consume 99% of
A.
(c) Repeat (b) assuming the reactor contents initially
are 100% A.
(d) If the reaction is second order:
Repeat (c) to calculate the time to consume 80% of A. Also, calculate the
pressure in the reactor at this time if the temperature is 227°C.
