The following reversible gas-phase reaction is carried out in a 10 L batch reactor.
A <->C -rA = CA – 0.5CC [mol/(L h)]
Determine the pressure, temperature, and gas phase composition (mole fractions) in the reactor after 1
hour of operating adiabatically given the following initial conditions and physical properties and the
assumption of ideal gas behavior:
P0 = 100 kPa, yA0 = 0.5, yC0 = 0.1, yinert=0.4, T0 = 500 K.
cpA = cpC = 10 J/mol K, cpinert = 5 J/mol K, HR(298K) = -20 kJ/mol C formed
