Question

Pure gaseous A at about 3 atm and 30°C (120 mmol/liter) is fed into a 1-liter mixed flow reactor at various flow rates. There it decomposes via A ?3R, and the exit concentration of A is measured for 20 each flow rate. From the following data find a rate equation to represent the kinetics of the decomposition of A. Assume that reactant A alone affects the rate. Q liter/min 0.06 0.48 2.5 8.1 CA mmol/liter 30 60 80 105 3.2. What will the exit concentration be for a 1- liter plug flow reactor operating with the same feed at the same temperature and pressure and a flow rate of 2.5 liter/min?
