Question 2
10 points
The elementary, irreversible, liquid phase reaction: A+B--> 2C is carried out in an isothermal, isobaric 40-liter batch reactor with 20 kg of catalyst. The reactor is filled with
30 moles of A and 30 moles of B. The catalyst decay is first order with respect to activity. If the reactor is operated at 300 K, calculate concentration (mol/liter) of product C
after 30 minutes.
Additional Information:
$k = 3.35 \text{ liter}^2/\text{(mole-kg cat-min)} \text{ at } 450 K$
$k_d = 0.1 \text{ min}^{-1} \text{ at } 300 K$
$\frac{E}{R} = 1245 K$
$C_{PA} = 50 \text{ J/mole K}$
$\Delta H_R = -10,000 \text{ J/mole at } 400 K$
$\frac{E_d}{R} = 650 K$
$C_{PB} = 30 \text{ J/mole K}$
$C_{PC} = 40 \text{ J/mole K}$
