Question

A mixed flow reactor is being used to determine the kinetics of a reaction whose stoichiometry is A- R. For this purpose various flow rates of an aqueous solution of 100 mM of A are fed to a 1-L reactor, and for each run the outlet concentration of A is measured. Find a rate equation to represent the following data. Also assume that reactant alone affects the rate.

Answer 1

The rate equation for the given data is rate = k[A], where [A] is the concentration of reactant A and k is the rate constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate equation for the given data can be determined by finding the relationship between the change in concentration of reactant A and the flow rate.

In a mixed flow reactor, the reaction rate is proportional to the concentration of A.

This can be represented by the rate equation: rate = k[A], where [A] is the concentration of A and k is the rate constant.

The rate equation indicates that the rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of reactant A.
