You are required to scale up the lab-scale batch reactor to an industrial-scale reactor for producing a slimming product. However, you need to find the reaction order and rate constant of the reaction. It is a liquid-phase reaction of AB. 0 3 5 8 10 12 15 17.5 t(min) CA (mol/dm3) 4.0 2.89 2.25 1.45 1.0 0.65 0.25 0.07 (a) By using the differential-graphical method, determine the order of reaction and the rate constant, k. (23 Marks) (b) Calculate the volume of CSTR needed to achieve 75% conversion if pure A enters the reactor at the volumetric flow rate of 18 dm3/s. (7 Marks)
