1.) Aqueous A at a concentration of 0.5 M is introduced into a batch reactor where it reacts away to form product R according to the reaction A R. The concentration of A in the reactor is monitored at various times, as shown below. t (min) CA (mol/m) 0 100 200 300 400 700 500 83 46 31 24 14 a.) Use the Integral Method of data analysis to determine the rate law for this process. Using Matlab, plot (in 4 subplots) the data assuming reaction orders of -1, 0, 1, and 2. b.) From the plots in part (a.), what is the proper reaction order for this reaction? What is the rate constant? What are the units of k? c.) Exam practice: determine the local slope between the first 2 points and the last 2 points for the data sets: C vs. t, ln(CA) vs. t, 1/C vs. t, and Ca2 vs. t. The set that has an unchanging slope should be the proper order. Do these results coincide with your results from (a.) and (b.)? d.) If C = 0.3 M, what is C at 500 minutes? A0 1.)
