Exam Problem The elementary liquid-phase series reaction Ak1Bk2C is carried out in a 500dm3 batch reactor. The initial concentration of A is 1.6mol/dm3. The desired product is B, and separation of the undesired product C is very difficult and costly. Because the reaction is carried out at a relatively high temperature, the reaction is easily quenched. (a) Plot and analyze the concentrations of A, B, and C as a function of time. Assume that each reaction is irreversible, with k1=0.4h1 and k2=0.01h1. (b) Plot and analyze the concentrations of A,B, and C as a function of time when the first reaction is reversible, with k1=0.3h1. (c) Plot and analyze the concentrations of A,B, and C as a function of time for the case where both reactions are reversible, with k2=0.005h1. (d) Compare (a), (b), and (c) and describe what you find. (e) Vary k1,k2,k1, and k2. Explain the consequence of k1>100 and k2
