Question 45
CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
The elementary, irreversible, liquid-phase, parallel reactions, 2A → D and 2A → U, take place in an isothermal non-ideal reactor. The C-curve measured in a tracer experiment is shown in the figure, where
is the concentration of the tracer in g/m³ at the reactor exit at time
(in min).

The rate constants are
Liter/(mol min) and
Liter/(mol min). Pure A is fed to the reactor at a concentration of 2 mol/Liter. Using the segregated model, the percentage conversion in the reactor is __________ (rounded off to the nearest integer).Log in to check the answer
