-Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering 6th Ed. P8-9 (a and b) P8-9, OEQ (Old Exam Question). The elementary liquid-phase series reaction A Bkzc is carried out in a 500-dm batch reactor. The initial concentration of A is 1.6 mol/dm. The desired product is B, and separation of the undesired product C is very difficult and costly. Because the reaction is carried out at a relatively high temperature, the reaction is easily quenched. a. Plot and analyze the concentrations of A, B, and C as a function of time. Assume that each reaction is irreversible, with kq = 0.4 h-4 and kg = 0.01 h-? b. Plot and analyze the concentrations of A, B, and C as a function of time when the first reaction is reversible, with k, = 0.3 h-1
