Question 15
CHMCQ1 markNeeds review
Liquid phase isomerization of o-xylene to p-xylene using a zeolite catalyst was carried out in a CSTR. Three sets of kinetic data at different temperatures and stirring speeds were obtained as shown below.
| set A | | | set B | | | set C | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
temperature (K) | 500 | 500 | 500 | 600 | 600 | 600 | 700 | 700 | 700 |
stirring speed (rpm) | 1000 | 2000 | 3000 | 1000 | 2000 | 3000 | 1000 | 2000 | 3000 |
reaction rate (mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹) | 0.020 | 0.025 | 0.025 | 0.037 | 0.047 | 0.047 | 0.069 | 0.078 | 0.086 |
The operating condition at which the reaction rate is not controlled by external mass transfer resistance is
