Below is a gas-phase reaction. The molar feed is 35% A and 65% B. The reaction is carried
out isothermally at a temperature of 300°C and at a constant pressure of 15 atm.
$$ \frac{1}{2}A + \frac{1}{4}B \longrightarrow C + \frac{1}{3}D $$
(a) (2 points) Determine what is the limiting reactant (LR) based on the data above.
(b) (4 points) Construct a complete stoichiometric table with the correct limiting reactant
as the basis of calculation.
(c) (4 points) What are the values for initial CLR in mol/dm³, d, and e
(d) (5 points) At a conversion of XLR=0.3, what are the values of CA, CB, CC and CD?
(e) (5 points) Suppose the reaction rate law can be written as below with k=40 dm³mol-1s-1.
Write the rate of the reaction solely as a function of conversion for a flow system.
$$r_A = -kC_A^{1/2}C_B^{3/2}$$
