You want to design a CSTR to produce 200 million pounds of ethylene glycol per year by hydrolyzing ethylene oxide, so you need to run a batch experiment to determine the specific rate constant. The reaction is carried out isothermally at 55C and water is present in excess, so its concentration can be considered constant. The reaction is first order with respect to ethylene oxide. A+BC In the laboratory experiment 500mL of a 2M solution of ethylene oxide in water was mixed with 500mL of water containing 0.9 mass %H2SO4 as a catalyst. The ethylene glycol concentration was recorded as a function of time. a) Use the data in the table to determine the specific reaction rate constant. Remember to include the units. If a solution of 1lbmol/ft3 of ethylene oxide in water is to be fed to the reactor together with an equal volume of water with 0.9% mass of sulfuric acid, determine: b) The volume of CSTR needed to achieve 80% conversion. c) The number of parallel 800-gallon reactors needed to achieve the same conversion. d) The number of 800 -gallon reactors in series needed to achieve the same conversion
