Interpretation Of Batch Reactor

Question 1

Enumeration.
Two procedures for analyzing kinetic data.

Answer 1

1. Integral
2. Differential

Question 2

When we mention the constant-volume batch reactor we are really referring to the volume of reaction mixture, and not the volume of reactor.

Answer 2

Constant-density reaction system

Question 3

A reaction in which one of the products of reaction acts as a catalyst.

Answer 3

Autocatalyst Reaction

Question 4

It deals directly with the differential rate equation to be tested, evaluating all terms in the equation including the derivative dC/dt, and testing the goodness of fit of the equation with the experiment.

Answer 4

Differential Method of Analysis

Question 5

It always puts a particular rate equation to the test by integrating and comparing the predicted C versus t curve with the experimental C versus t data.

Answer 5

Integral method of analysis

Question 6

These reactors are much more complex than the simple constant-volume batch reactor and mainly used in the microprocessing field where a capillary tube with a movable bead would represent the reactor.

Answer 6

Varying-volume Batch Reactor

Question 7

True or False.
Chemical theory predicts that the rate constant should be temperature-independent.

Answer 7

False. Rate Constants are temperature-dependent.

Question 8

Chemistry has developed the equations for reaction rates and activation energies in terms of concentration.

Answer 8

Collision theory or Transition state theory

Question 9

Defined as the time it takes for the concentration of the reactant to fall to half of it initial value.

Answer 9

Half-life of a Reaction
