Question: 4 . A solid catalytic first order reaction for butane conversion is occurring at 4 5 0 0 C with rate of the reaction 3

4. A solid catalytic first order reaction for butane conversion is occurring at 4500
C with
rate of the reaction 35x 10-3 cm3
/s.g of catalyst. The catalyst pore size is 95. The solid
density of the catalyst is 0.95 cc with particle size 10 mm. Considering Knudsen diffusion
at this small pore size and concentration of butane at pore mouth 0.25 mol/cc, predict
whether the reaction is pore diffusion controlled or reaction controlled.
