QUESTION 1.
:
The nitration of aromatic compounds is a highly exothermic reaction that generally uses catalysts that tend to be corrosive (e.g.,(e.g.,HNO3H2SO4). A less corrosive reaction employs N2O5 as the nitrating agent as illustrated below:
N2O5+2C6H62C6H5NO2+H2O
The reaction is conducted in CTSR with cooling system. The reaction rate is first order in N2O5 and second order in C6H6. The reactants enter the reactor at a temperature of 30C and the volumetric flow rate is 100Lmin. The initial concentration of N2O5 is 0.1molL.
What is the reactor volume (Liters) to achieve 35% conversion of N2O5?
