(1) A reaction AB occurs in a stirred tank reactor with the following kinetic model, dA =ke ERTA dt Where -d/dt is the rate of reaction (mol/L.s), A the concentration (mol/L), T the temperature (K), k the rate constant (1/s), E the activation energy (kcal/mol), and the gas constant (0.00198 kcal/mol.K). k and E are wanted to be determined; for this purpose, 5 different measurements for -dA/dt, A and T are taken during the reaction. -dA/dt (mol/Ls) 460 960 2485 1600 1245 A (mol/L) 200 150 50 20 10 T(K) 280 320 450 500 550 a) Linearize this equation. b) Use linear regression to determine k and E by hand calculations. c) Calculater? d) Use MATLAB built-in functions to calculate k, and E. e) Plot the given data and the fitted model on the same plot using MATLAB
