1. Chemical Reaction Mathematicsg: Please provide complete correct detailed solution. Preferentially done by hand or on paper with graphs and calculation.

Problem 1: Equilibrium Conversion a) The liquid phase reaction A+B ut ith umisven oste C with equilibrium constant K-10 L/mol is carried out in a batch reactor. What are the equilibrium conversion and concentrations: i) if CAo CBO 2 mol/L? ii) if the reaction is instead 2A+B C with K-1(L/mol)2 and CA,-2 molL and CBO = 5 mol L? b) The reaction A 3C is carried out in a gas-phase, isothermal, isobaric flow reactor. The feed consists of pure A at 400 K and 10 atm, at which conditions K= 0.25 (molL) i) What are the equilibrium conversion and concentrations? ii) What if the above reaction i volume batch reactor? ii What if it is carried out in a constant pressure batch reactor where the reactor is carried out in a constant can expand or contract?

Explanation / Answer

(a)

A + B <------> C

2     2              0 (INitial)

2-x   2-x           x (Equilibrium)

(i) K = x / (2-x)^2

10 = x / (x^2-4x+4)

10x^2 - 40x + 40 - x = 0

10x^2 - 41x + 40 = 0

x = 1.6 M

[A] = [B] = 2-1.6 = 0.4 M , [C] = 0.4 M

2 A + B <-----> C

2         5             0

2 - 2x    5 - x        x

K = x / [ (2-2x)^2 * (5-x) ]

10 = x / [ 2 - 2x)^2 * (5 - x) ]

This is a complex equation which can be solved to get the required value of x

[A] = 2 - 2x and [B] = 5 - x , [C] = x

(b)

A <--------> 3C

10               x

Kp = 0.25 * (RT)^(3-1)

Kp = 0.25 * (0.0821*400)^2

Kp = 269.62 atm

Kp = pC^3 / pA

pC^3 = 2696.2

pC = 13.92 atm

At constant volume reaction shifts the direction of reaction towards product i.e more of C is formed.

At constant pressure the values of concentrations will become constany
