Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The units of k should be determined.

Concept introduction:

It is given that a reaction A ⟶B is carried out in a lab scale reactor. The concentration of A vary with time as follows,

CA=CA0exp(kt)

Where CA0 = initial concentration of A, k = Constant and t = time

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Verify the proposed rate law graphically and estimate CA0 and k.

Concept introduction:

It is given that a reaction A ⟶B is carried out in a lab scale reactor. The concentration of A vary with time as follows,

Methane (CH4) is reacted with oxygen (02) over a catalyst to produce acetlyene (C2H2) in the following reaction: 6 CHąlg) + O2lg) –→2 C2H2(g) + 2 CO(g) + 10 H2(g) If a feed containing 150 mol CHg and 50 mol O, is fed into a reactor and the conversion of the limiting reactant is 92 %, determine the concentration of CH, in the product flue gas. Give your answer as a mole percent rounded off to one decimal place.
A chemical company wishes to determine whether a new catalyst XA-100 changes the mean hourly yield of its chemical process and is different from the historical process mean of 750 pounds per hour. After 29 trials are conducted using the new catalyst, the following outputs were given: t= 4.598 at a = 0.01. The critical value t* = (give answer to three decimal places) Fill in the blank
Drug Concentration A pharmaceutical companyclaims that the concentration of a drug in a patient’sbloodstream will be at least 10% for 8 hours. Supposeclinical tests show that the concentration of a drug (aspercent) t hours after injection is given byC(t) = 200t/2t2 + 32During what time period is the concentration at least10%? Is the company’s claim supported by the evidence?
