Reaction Rates, the Batch Reactor, and the Real World

6 important questions on Reaction Rates, the Batch Reactor, and the Real World

Why is it not nescecary to repeat the equations and definitions given for a bacht reactor for a plug flow reactor?

The equations and their solutions are identical for a batch and a plugflow reactor.

What does NOx smog consist of?

NO, N2O, NO2, N2O4 and N2O5

What is a generalized way of writing the reactions N2 + O2 --> 2NO, and 2NO + O2 --> 2NO2?

-A1 -A2 +2A3 = 0
-2A3 -A2 + 2A4 = 0

Why and when is r = k [A] [H2O] not a useful rate equation?

When water is the solvent, [H2O] does not significantly change it is than better to define k = k[H2O] and r= k[A]

At what required maximum levels for impurities or byproducts is the assumption of irreversibility incorrect?

When a product can only have impurities in the range op parts per billion (ppb) all reactions need to be considered as reversible.

How is the rate coefficient dependent on temperature?

where E is the activation energy for the reaction and ko is the pre-exponential factor.
