2.1 Liquid A decomposes by first-order kinetics, and in a batch reactor 50% of A is
converted in a 5-minute run. How much longer would it take to reach 75% conversion?

2.2 Repeat the problem 2.1 for second-order kinetics.

2.3 A 10-minute experimental run shows that 75% of liquid reactant is converted to
product by a 1/2-order rate. What would be the fraction converted in a half-hour run?

2.4 After 8 minutes in a batch reactor, reactant (CAO = 1 mol/liter) is 80% converted;
after 18 minutes, conversion is 90%. Find a rate equation to represent this reaction.

2.5 The first-order reversible liquid reaction

takes place in a batch reactor. After 8 minutes, conversion of A is 33.3% while


equilibrium conversion is 66.7%. Find the rate equation for this reaction

2.6 Aqueous A reacts to form R (A -> R) and in the first minute in a batch reactor its
concentration drops from CAo = 2.03 mol/liter to CAf = 1.97 mol/liter. Find the rate
equation for the reaction if the kinetics are second- order with respect to A.

2.7 Aqueous A at a concentration CA0 = 1 mol/liter is introduced into a batch reactor
where it reacts away to form product R according to stoichiometry A -> R. The
concentration of A in the reactor is monitored at various times, as shown below:

For CAo = 500 mol/m3 find the conversion of reactant after 5 hours in the batch
reactor.

2.8 For the decomposition A -> R, CA0 = 1 mol/liter, in a batch reactor conversion is
75% after 1 hour, and is just complete after 2 hours. Find a rate equation to represent
these kinetics.
