The gaseous reaction A→ B + 2C has a unimolecular reaction rate constant of 0.0015 min 1 ¹ at 120K. This reaction is to be carried out in parallel tubes 10 m long under a pressure of 132 atm at 260K. A production rate of 1000 kg/h of B is required. Assuming the activation energy of 25,000 J/mol and perfect gas laws, A and B each have molecular weights of 58 g/mol. (5 marks) i) Complete a stoichiometric table for the above reaction. ii) Calculate the diameter for the tubes needed to achieve 90% conversion.
