The liquid-phase irreversible reaction

A B+C

is carried out in a CSTR. To learn the rate law the volumetric flow rate, (hence

=V / v 0 is varied and the effluent concentrations of species recorded as a function of the

space time . Pure A enters the reactor at a concentration of 2 mol/dm 3 . Steady-state

conditions exist when the measurements are recorded.

(mol/dm3)

a) Determine the reaction order and specific reaction rate

b) If you were to repeat this experiment to determine the kinetics, what would you do
differently? Would you run at a higher, lower, or the same temperature? If you were to

take more data where would you place the measurements?

c) It is believed that the technician may have made a dilution factor of error in one of the
concentration measurements. What do you think? How do your answers compare using
regression (Polymath or other software)

JAWAB:

a) Orde reaksi dan laju reaksi spesifik (k)

Rate law

r A=k C A

d CA
r A= =k C A
dt
 d C A C A 0C A
=
dt t

Sehingga,

C A 0 C A
=k C A
t

Melakukan linearisasi,

C A 0C A
ln ( t )=ln k + ln C A

Apabila dihubungkan ke persamaan garis, maka

C A 0C A
ln ( )=ln k + ln C A

Perhitungan ln C A dan ln (C A0 C A
) . Dimana C A 0 = 2 mol/dm3

CA ln C A ln (

C
( A 0C A )/

15 1.5 0.405465 -3.4012
38 1.25 0.223144 -3.92527
100 1 0 -4.60517
300 0.75 -0.28768 -5.48064
1200 0.5 -0.69315 -6.68461
Kemudian perhitungan dilanjutkan dengan memasukkan data tabel diatas ke dalam program
polymath
Selanjutnya melakukan regresi

linear dengan ln C A sebagai

variable bebas dan

ln (C A0 C A
) sebagai

variable terikat.
 Kemudian memencet tombol panah, dan hasil pun akan keluar.

Didapatkan data seperti pada gambar di

samping. Dimana,

a 0=c ( intercept )=ln k =4.608

a 1=m ( slope )= =2.9998=3

Sehingga, nilai orde reaksi adalah =3

dan nilai laju reaksi spesifik (k) = 0.01

mol-2min-1.

=3

k =0.01

b) If you were to repeat this experiment to determine the kinetics, what would you do
differently? Would you run at a higher, lower, or the same temperature? If you were to take

more data where would you place the measurements?
