During a study visit to a chemical industry, you were told that the isothermally and isobarically carried out gas phase reaction A -> R + S
carried out in a tube reactor at 700 ° C and the pressure 2 atm. The operations engineer was very secretive about the size of the production but accidentally states that
space velocity is 600 h-1 and that inert components are not included in the reaction. You yourself estimate the diameter of the reactor at 1 dm and the length at
20 meters. Using this data, calculate the hourly output of R for continuous operation.
From the literature you have seen that the reaction is of the first order with the velocity constant 0.8 s-1 at 700 ° C. The molecular weight of R is 32 g / mol.
