1. a. Two chemical reactions between reactants A and B take place in a reactor with the following rates of reactions: = k Clck B -0.5 r2 = k2CX?C.5 ri is the rate of reaction for main product, and r2 is the rate of reaction for by-product. If the rates of reactions are not strongly dependent on temperature of the reaction mixture, what are the best two reactor types to be considered for the reaction system proposed? [4 marks] b. FIGURE Q1a shows the hydrolysis of allyl chloride (C3H5CI) which is carried out in a catalytic reactor to produce allyl alcohol (C3H5OH). In this reactor, diallyl ether (C6H100) is also produced as by-product. The conversion of allyl chloride and the yield to allyl alcohol are 97 % and 90 % on molar basis, respectively. If there are no other side reactions, calculate the masses of alcohol and ether produced per 1000 kg of allyl chloride fed to the reactor. Molecular weights of allyl chloride, allyl alcohol, and diallyl ether are 76.5, 58, and 98 kg/kmol, respectively. C3H5OH CH5Ci CH100 FIGURE Q1a: Hydrolysis of allyl chloride [6 marks]
