Question: The series reactions 2 A B ? ( 2 ) l o n g r i g h t a r r o w 4

The series reactions
2AB?(2)longrightarrow43C
are catalyzed by H2SO4. All reactions are first order in the reactant concentration.
The reaction is to be carried out in a semibatch reactor that has a heat exchanger
inside with UA=35,000calh*K and an exchanger temperature, Tv of 298K.
Pure A enters at a concentration of 4moldm3, a volumetric flow rate of 240dm3h.
and a temperature of 305K. Initially there is a total of 100dm3 in the reactor, which
contains 1.0moldm3 of A and 1.0moldm3 of the catalyst H2SO4. The reaction
rate is independent of the catalyst concentration. The initial temperature of the reac-
tor is 290K. Plot the species concentrations and temperature as a function of time.
