Problem 4-9. Calculate the equilibrium conversion and concentrations for each of the following reactions: a.

The liquid-phase reaction: With CA0 = C B0 = 2 mol/dm3 and KC = 10 dm3/mol Substance A B C Rate Law Concentrations CA = CA,0 (1-x) CB = CA,0 (1-x) CC = CA,0(x)

Same concentrations and

stchoimetry: either A or B can be limiting reactants.

Equilibrium concentrations:

b. The gas-phase reaction: Carried out in a flow reactor with no pressure drop. Pure A enters at a temperature of 400K and a pressure of 10 atm. At this temperature, KC = 0.25 (mol/dm3)2.
Concentrations at equilibrium:

Solving: ( )

c. The gas-phase reaction in part (b) carried out in a constant volume batch reactor.

Solving:

Concentrations:

d. The gas-phase reaction in part (b) carried out in a constant pressure batch reactor. Rate Law: ( )

Solving: ( )

Concentrations at equilibrium:
