7.12. Reactant A in a liquid either isomerizes or dimerizes as follows:
A->R_(desired ),r_(R)=k_(1)C_(A)
A A->S_(unwanted ),r_(S)=k_(2)C_(A)^(2)(a) Write
\phi ((R)/(A))and
\phi [(R)/(R S)]. With a feed stream of concentration
C_(A0)find
C_(R, max )which can be formed (b) in a plug flow reactor, (c) in a mixed flow reactor. A quantity of A of initial concentration
C_(A0)=1mo(l)/()liter is dumped into a batch reactor and is reacted to completion. (d) If
C_(S)=0.18mo(l)/()liter in the resultant mixture, what does this tell of the kinetics of the reaction?
