Q.1. In the presence of a homogeneous catalyst of given concentration, aqueous, reactant A is converted to
product at the following rates, and C
A
alone determines this rate:
C
A
(mol/L) 1 2 4 6 7 9 12
-r
A
(mol/L.hr.) 0.06 0.1 0.25 1.0 2.0 1.0 0.5
We plan to run this reaction in a batch reactor at the same catalyst concentration as used in getting the
above data. Find the time needed to lower the concentration of A from C
AO
= 10 mol/L. to C
Af
= 2
mol/L.
Hint: =

Q.2. In the presence of a homogeneous catalyst of given concentration, aqueous, reactant A is converted to
product at the following rates, and C
A
alone determines this rate:
C
A
(mol/L) 700 500 400 300 250
-r
A
(mol/L.hr.) - 5.14 - 2.05 - 1.73 - 0.87 - 0.62
Determine order of reaction n and rate constant k.
Hint:
