In a batch reactor 1% of A reacts in one minute when Cao = 1 mol/L but the same 1% reacts in 15 seconds when Cao = 4 mol/L. Determine the kinetic expression representing the reaction

Step 1
The reaction rate can be calculated using the formula: Rate = (change in concentration of A) / (time) For the first condition, when Cao = 1 mol/L, the reaction rate is: Rate1 = (1% of A) / (1 minute) For the second condition, when Cao = 4 mol/L, the reaction Show more…

For the reaction A → R, second-order kinetics and CA0 = 1 mol/liter, we get 50% conversion after 1 hour in a batch reactor. What will be the conversion and concentration of A after 1 hour if CA0 = 10 mol/liter?

Aqueous A reacts to form $\mathrm{R}(\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{R})$ and in the first minute in a batch reactor its concentration drops from $C_{\mathrm{A} 0}=2.03 \mathrm{mol} /$ liter to $C_{\mathrm{A} f}=1.97$ mol/liter. Find the rate equation for the reaction if the kinetics are secondorder with respect to A.
An autocatalytic chemical reaction with a given kinetic and rate takes place in a batch reactor. Find the concentration of A at the point where the maximum rate occurs if Cao = 2 mol/lit and CRo = 0.2 mol/lit. A + R → R + R -rA = -dCA/dt = kCACR
