The gas-phase reaction 12N2+32H2→NH3 is to be carried out isothermally first in a flow reactor. The molar feed is 50% H₂ and 50% N₂, at a pressure of 16.4 atm and at a temperature of 227°C.
a. Construct a complete stoichiometric table.
b. Express the concentrations in mol/dm³ of each for the reacting species as a function of conversion. Evaluate C_A0,δ, and ɛ, and then calculate the concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen when the conversion of H₂ is 60%.
c. Suppose by chance the reaction is elementary with kN2=40dm³/mol/s. Write the rate of reaction solely as a function of conversion for (1) a flow reactor and for (2) a constant-volume batch reactor.
