A gas phase reaction A 2 B takes place in two different BATCH isothermal reactors: Isochoric ( constant volume ) BATCH Isobaric ( constant pressure

A gas phase reaction
A2B
takes place in two different BATCH isothermal reactors:
Isochoric (constant volume) BATCH
Isobaric (constant pressure) BATCH
The reaction is first order with respect to the concentration of compound A
rV=kcA
where k is the rate constant equal to 1s-1. The initial pressure in both reactors is 1 bar and both contain compound A only.
Calculate the conversion of compound A as function of time for both reactors (analytical solution).
Calculate the concentration of compound A as function of time for both reactors (analytical solution).
Determine the volume and pressure at 10th second after the reaction start for both reactors
Hint 1: Perform (1) the material balance of the system, (2) material balance of the reactor, and (3) integrate the resulting differential equation. Be aware that volume changes over time (comersion) in an isobaric BATCH!
Hint 2: The concentration of in the isochoric BATCH could be calculated as cA(t)=nA(t)VR(t)
