In Reaction 1, A reacts with B to give a desired product, C. In Reaction 2,C reacts with B to give an unwanted side product, D. Reaction 1 and Reaction 2 both have elementary kinetics, according to the reactions given below: Reaction 1: A+2B2C Reaction 2: C+3B2D N.B.1. if your answer is a fraction, please write it using a decimal point to two decimal places. For example write 1/3 as 0.33 N.B. 2 if your answer is + or -, please type +1 or -1 . 1.1 Are these series, parallel or complex reactions? 1.2 If the rate law for reaction 1 follows elementary kinetics, write the rate equation for reaction 1 in terms of A, i.e. rA,1 rA,1=kf,1CACB2kr,1CC2 1.3 What is the rate of reaction, rC,1, in terms of rA,1 ? rC,1=rA,1 1.4 What is the rate of reaction, rB,1, in terms of rC,1 ? rB,1=rC,1 1.5 What is the rate of reaction, rD, in terms of rC,2 ? rD=r,2 1.6 What is the rate of reaction, rB,2, in terms of rC,2 ? 1.6 What is the rate of reaction, rD, in terms of rA,2 ? rD=rA,2 1.7 What is the rate of reaction, rC,2, in terms of rA,2 ? rC=rA,2 1.8 What is the net rate of reaction, rc ? rc=rC,1rc,2=rA,1rA,2 1.7 If the desired product is C and the undesired product is D, what is the instantaneous selectivity?
