Problem 2(20%): In an isothermal batch reactor, and a
catalytic/enzymatic reaction with a rate expression of the form:
-rA=k1cA1+k2cA
where cA0=10molL,k1=3.5s-1, and k2=0.45Lmol
a) By what percentage must the reaction time be increased to raise
the conversion of A from 0.9 to 0.95?
b) If the initial conversion is 0.8, what will the final conversion be if
the reaction time is increased by 50%?
