k1 k2, and CRO = CSO = 0. Find the maximum concentration of R (CR,max) and when is it
reached (4,0- (15)
3) (a) Enzyme E catalyzes the transformation of reactant A to product R as follows:
A enzyme 200C

mol/L) and reactant (CAO = 10 mol/L) into a batch reactor and let the reaction proceed,
find the time needed for the concentration of reactant to drop to 0.025 mol/L. (5)
(b) Find the first-order rate constant for the disappearance of A in the gas reaction
2A ----> R if, on holding the pressure constant, the volume of the reaction mixture,
starting with 80% A, decreases by 20% in 3 min. (10)
4) Pure gaseous reactant A (CAO = 100 millimol/liter) is fed at a steady rate into a mixed
flow reactor (V = 0.1 liter) where it dimerizes ( 2A -> R ). For different gas feed rates, the
following data are obtained,Find a rate-equation--for-this reaction. Draw-the--required—
graph neatly on a graph sheet. (12)

6) Between 0°C and 100°C determine the equilibrium conversion for the elementary
aqueous reaction-:--A-T-_HI-;AG-- °298 "--14,1-30 J/mol-;---M1°298 —75,3001 , an
C pA =CpR = constant . Present the results in the form of a plot of temperature versus
conversion. What restrictions should be placed on the reactor operating isothermally to
obtain a conversion of 75% or higher? (13)
