The reaction 3A B + C occurs in water, with a known
pre-exponential rate factor of 0.12 L/mol sec and an activation
energy of 4.3 kcal/mol. The inlet feed to a reactor is 2.5M A,
flowing at 15 L/min. The outlet stream contains 0.65M B. If the
reactor is run at 55°C, what is the residence time for a: Pftr and
Cstr
The activation energy for a particular reaction is 84 kJ/mol. By
what factor will the rate constant increase when the temperature is
increased from 50 oC to 72 oC?
Consider the Arrhenius equation.
K= Ae-Ea/RT
Discuss the effect of changing the basicity of the nucleophile
would have on the activation energy, and therefore on the rate
constant. Describe the molecularity and rate law of the reaction.
How could this be determined experimentally?

Consider the equation of Liouville.
a) Write the equation and explain its meaning with
words, make sure all the variables and symbols are well
defined.
b) Say what results are important for the validity of
that equation.
The compressability factor for the Van der Waal equation of
state is Z=(PV/RT)=(V)/(V-b)-(a/RTV). As molar volume becomes large
compared to b what happens to V/(V-b)? (What is the limiting value
for the fraction V/(V-b) as molar volume gets very large?) What is
the limiting value of - a/(RTV) as molar volumes get very large?
What is the limiting value for the compressibility factor Z as
molar volume increases? Molar volumes increase as pressure
