Stoichiometry. The elementary gas reaction
2A+BC
is carried out isothermally in a PFR with no pressure drop. The feed is equal molar in A and B, and
the entering concentration of A is 0.1moldm3. Set up a stoichiometric table and then determine the
following.
(a) What is the entering concentration (moldm3) of B?
(b) What are the concentrations of A and C(moldm3) at 25% conversion of A?
(c) What is the concentration of B(moldm3) at 25% conversion of A?(Ans.: CB=0.1moldm3)
(d) What is the concentration of B(moldm3) at 100% conversion of A?
(e) If at a particular conversion the rate of formation of C is 2molmindm3, what is the rate of for-
mation of A at the same conversion?
(f) Write -rA solely as a function of conversion (i.e., evaluating all symbols) when the reaction is an
elementary, irreversible, gas-phase, isothermal reaction with no pressure drop with an equal molar
feed and with CA0=2.0moldm3 at,kA=2dmmol*s.
(g) What is the rate of reaction at x=0.5?
