1. In a liquid phase reaction, 30% of the reactant disappears in 34 minutes for initial reactant
concentrations of 0.04 and also for 0.8 mol/liter. What rate law represents the
disappearance of the reactant?
2. In a batch reactor, a reactant, with CA0 = 1 mol/liter, is converted 80% in 8 min; and after
18 min, the conversion is 90%. Find a rate law to represent this reaction.
3. A first order reversible liquid-phase reaction 𝐴 ↔ 𝐵 takes place in a constant volume batch
reactor. With CA0 = 0.5 mol/liter and CB0 = 0, after 8 minutes conversion of A is 0.333 while
equilibrium conversion is 0.667. Find the rate law for this reaction.
5. The following data are obtained at 0 oC in a constant volume batch reactor using pure
gaseous A:
Time (min) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 ∞
Partial pressure 760 600 475 390 320 275 240 215 150
mmHg
The stoichiometry of the decomposition is A à 2.5R. Find a rate law which satisfactorily
represents this decomposition using (i) Integral approach and (ii) Differential approach.
