CAUTION: Maintain significant figures through all calculations! A tracer study was conducted on a full-scale reactor that has a volume of 780,000 gallons by injecting a slug of chloride into the influent and then measuring the effluent concentration with time. 25 36 43 45 46 Time (minutes after dye was injected) 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50 0.75 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 Chloride Concentration (mg/L) 0.0 5.0 5.5 6.0 6.6 7.4 8.6 9.4 10 11 12 13 14 15 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10 11 12 13 14 15 45 44 21 9.8 8.7 7.3 6.2 5.6 4.7 4.1 3.0 16 17 18 19 20 7. A food processing plant has an existing 4 550 gallon tank that they want to start a new batch chemical process in to manufacture a component for a candy bar. The engineers determined that the reaction order for glucose is the limiting reaction and its reaction order is zero with a kinetic coefficient of 15.98 mg/(L hour). The process entails mixing 763 mg/L of glucose with secret ingredients and, when only 482 mg/L glucose remains, the process is complete. They need to run 3 batches a day to make enough of this component. Is there enough time during a day for all 3 batches? Explain your answers. 8. The new intern suggests that a continuous plug flow reactor will enable the component to be manufactured faster (in reference to question 7). Do you agree? Explain your
