Extra$-$Assignment:

Your company has two liquid streams available containing solutes that are

not profitably marketable at the present time. One stream contains an

aqueous solution of $A.$ The second stream contains an aqueous solution of

species B$.$ Species A can react either with species B or with itself according

to the following stoichiometric equations and rate expressions:

$A+BV($ valued product$)r_V=k_1{C}_A{C}_B$

$2AW(undesiredby-$product$)$

$($a$)$ At a specific temperature $(T)$ : $k_1=0\mathrm{.}2(M^{-1}*mi{n}^{-1}),k_2=0\mathrm{.}1(M^{-1}*mi{n}^{-1}),$

$k_3=0\mathrm{.}3(M^{-0\mathrm{.}5}).$ When a $2L$ aqueous solution containing $1M$ of A mixed

quickly with a $5L$ aqueous solution containing $1M$ of $B$ :

$($b$)$ You have two beakers containing samples of the two streams and

desire to carry out a small$-$scale laboratory experiment in which you

maximize the formation of species $V.$ In what manner should you

carry out this experiment; that is$,$ in what order and at what rate would

you add each beaker of the reactants to an empty container?

$($c$)$ If the activation energies for the rate constants $k_1,k_2,$ and $k_3$ are all $40$

$k\frac{J}{m}ol,$ what additional statements can you make regarding the

operating temperature recommended for increasing production of

species V$?$
