Problem 1: P8-3 (2 pts) P8-38 The following reactions ki AFD kz AU take place in a batch reactor. -P1A=k, [CA-C/KA) - 2A = k [CA-C/K2A) Additional information: k= 1.0 min-, KA = 10 k2 = 100 min-!, K2A = 1.5 CAo = 1 mol/dm3 (Adapted from a problem by John Falconer, University of Colorado.) (a) Plot and analyze conversion and the concentrations of A, D, and U as a function of time. When would you stop the reaction to maximize the concentration of D? Describe what you find. (b) When does the maximum concentration of U occur? (c) What are the equilibrium concentrations of A, D, and U? (d) What would be the exit concentrations from a CSTR with a space time of 1.0 min? Of 10.0 min? Of 100 min
