3. You want to test the rate expression that you derived in problem 1, where C P + B, against reactor testing data using a silica-alumina catalyst at 950C. The data that you have is INITIAL rate data, where at initial conditions we assume that there are no products. Canceling appropriate terms from problem 1, your rate expression reduced to: ro = k'KcPc/(1+ KcPc) where ro = initial rate, k' is a modified rate constant that now includes the total concentration of active sites, and Kc is the equilibrium constant for adsorption of C. ro [moles/(L-sec)] 0.045455 0.063095 0.070909 0.080645 0.084524 Find: k' and Kc using linearization techniques. Discuss whether your mechanism is reasonable. Why or why not? P (atm) 1 2.65 3.9 7.5 14.2 3.
