 Please answer b and c Q1. [25 marks] (a) A homogeneous

Q1. [25 marks] (a) A homogeneous reaction between A and B is occurring within an organic solution. An ideal CFSTR with a volume of 10,000 L is being used. The molar feed rate of A, Fao, into the CFSTR is 2000 mol hr", and the mole fraction of A in the feed is 0.20. Other known reactor parameters are: Temperature of the feed into the reactor = 50C. The molar heat capacity for all species in the reaction system = 60 J mol-1 C-1 The enthalpy change on reaction (AHR) is approximately constant and equal to - 37 kJ mola 1. The product of the enthalpy change of the reaction, the fractional change in the conversion of A, and the molar feed rate, i.e., (-AHR.XA.Fao) was collected as a function of temperature, which are shown in the table below.

[5 marks] (b) Using mass balances and the data gathered for the reactor, show a method to calculate reaction rate of A at different temperatures. [5 marks] (C) Using this method, show the reaction rate as a function of temperature graphically. [10 marks]
