The previous process was found to have an activation energy of 12 kcal/mole, and we had been operating at 40C. What reactor volumes would we need if we can operate at 80C?

(b) This hydrolysis reaction is exothermic with AH, = -8 kcal/mole. What must be the average rate of cooling (in watts) during the reaction to maintain the reaction isothermal?

(c) If we started the batch reactor at 40C but forgot to turn on the cooling, what would be the final temperature if the reactor were adiabatic (and the vessel would withstand the pressure)? Assume the heat capacity of the solution to be that of water, 1 Cal/cm3 K.

(d) What cautions do you recommendations regarding operation at 80C?
