Batch experiments were conducted at 50C in a laboratory to determine the reaction kinetics data for reactor design. It is predicted that the reaction is elementary and follows the reaction scheme 2AB. The initial concentration of reactant A was 3.0moldm3. Samples were taken at various time intervals and the results are reported in TABLE Q3.
