Repeat Problem 22.21 for a catalytic/enzymatic reaction with a rate expression of the form

where c_Ao = 10 mol/L, k₁ = 3.5 s^-1, and k₂ = 0.45 L/mol

Problem 22.21

In an isothermal batch reactor, a first-order, irreversible, liquid-phase reaction, A → B, occurs. The initial concentration is C_Ao.

1. By what percentage must the reaction time be increased to raise the conversion of A from 0.9 to 0.95?

2. If the initial conversion is 0.8, what will the final conversion be if the reaction time is increased by 50%?
