4. Kinetics experiments were performed with several different sizes of spherical catalyst pellets. In all experiments, the bulk concentration of A was fixed at 0.025 mol/L, with A fed through the catalyst bed at 350\deg C. The reaction is suspected to be first order, of the form A products. Data are shown in the table, below:do.mm1.0Jobs, mol L'5-110.55.04.8201.5a) Determine the rate constant for the intrinsic reaction and the effective diffusivity based on the 1 mm and 20 mm particles. State all assumptions.b) Determine the effectiveness factor and Thiele modulus for each particle.Numerical answers: kx=4395-1De =9.13 x 10-5 m/sn (1mm)=0.96'(1mm)=0.365
