Reaction kinetic studies in a batch reactor
A second order reaction is taking place in a constant volume batch reactor of 5 lit volume at a
temperature of 30°C [case( i)] . The rate constant was found to be 5lit/mol/min. Same reaction was
carried out in a 2lit volume batch reactor at 30° C( case ii). The rate constant obtained with case (ii) is ?
a: Higher that that in case(i)
b: Equal to case (i)
c: Lower than that in case (i)
d: Cannot predict
In a batch reactor an; irreversible first order reaction A R takes place. The reaction rate constant (k) = 0.2
sec-1, and the initial concentration of A (CAo) = 0.1 mol/m3. Find the conversion of the reaction after 2
seconds ?
a: 70%
b: 32.7%
c: 30%
d: 67.3%
Liquid A decomposes in a batch reactor by a second order kinetics. If 50% of A is converted in a five
minute run, how long would it take to reach 75% conversion
a: 7.5 min
b: 15min
c: 30min
d: 10min
Rate constant ‘k’, absolute temperature ‘T’ are related by Arrhenius equation as
a: k proportional sqrt(T)
b: k proportional exp (-E/RT)
c: k proportional T^1.5
d: k proportional T
