Question: The liquid phase reversible reaction, A + BharrC + D occurs in a batch reactor at 5 0 C and atmospheric pressure. The forward and

The liquid phase reversible reaction,
A+BharrC+D
occurs in a batch reactor at 50C and atmospheric pressure. The forward and reverse reactions are pseudo 1st fast order (pseudo 1st order in A and pseudo 1st order in C). The forward and reverse rate constants are k1=1.6510-3min-1 and kr=1.710-3min-1 at 50C respectively.
(i) Calculate the equilibrium conversion at the reactor operating condition
Anssmer (a)xa=492558
(ii) Calculate the required time to reach 80% of the equilibrium conversion
Ansner: 18)t=0.452 hours:
(iii) Calculate the reactor volume. (Hints: take appropriate assumptions; e.g., Production of C, downtime 1h; initial concentration, density)
 The liquid phase reversible reaction, A+BharrC+D occurs in a batch reactor
