The same reactor as in is used for kinetic measurements by following the change of pressure with time as the reaction takes place, as given in the attached The reactor operates isothermally. a) Starting from the mole balance equation and for the first order kinetics of the monomolecular reaction D 2 M, expressed in terms of concentration of the reactant D, derive an equation for the conversion of D as function of time. b) Explain how you could use this equation to estimate the kinetic constant (reaction rate constant) from the experimental data in Table 1. Explain your method, describe your calculations, and present any equations/formulae used. c) By tabulating your results and plotting an appropriate diagram, use linear regression to estimate the kinetic constant of the decomposition reaction to two significant figures. d) Using the estimated kinetic constant and assuming that the gaseous reaction mixture behaves ideally, calculate the pressure profile with time. i) Explain your method, describe your calculations, and present any equations/formulae used. ii) Tabulate and plot your results together with the experimental data. f) Compare and comment on the two pressure profiles plotted in ii) The same reactor as in is used for kinetic measurements by following the change of pressure with time as the reaction takes place, as given in the attached The reactor operates isothermally. a) Starting from the mole balance equation and for the first order kinetics of the monomolecular reaction D 2 M, expressed in terms of concentration of the reactant D, derive an equation for the conversion of D as function of time. b) Explain how you could use this equation to estimate the kinetic constant (reaction rate constant) from the experimental data in Table 1.
