Question 2271. The dimensions of rate constant for reaction 3A → B are (l/gm mole)/min. Therefore the reaction order is______________________?

Question 2272. A catalyst loses its activity due to__________________?

Question 2273. Transition state theory relates the above quantities as___________________?

Question 2274. Second order consecutive irreversible reaction as shown in the bellow figure, were carried out in a constant volume isothermal batch reactor with different initial feed compositions. Reactor temperature was same in all the cases. In experiments where the ratio of concentration of B to that of A in the initial feed was less than 0.5, the concentration of B increased first, reached a maximum and then declined with time. However, for all experiments where this concentration ratio was 0.5 or above, concentration of B decreased monotonically with time right from the beginning. What is the ratio of the two rate constants (k1/k2) ?

Question 2275. In a semi-batch reactor __________________?

Question 2276. ‘If the catalyst pore size is small in comparison with the mean free path, collisions with the pore wall controls the process’. The diffusivity under this condition is called ‘Knudsen diffusivity’, which is affected by the_____________________?

Question 2277. Pure ethanol vapor is fed to a reactor packed with alumina catalyst, at the rate of 100 kmole / hr. The reactor products comprise: ethylene: 95 kmole / hr, water vapour: 97.5 k mole / hr and diethyl ether: 2.5 kmole/hr. The reactions occuring can be represented by: C2H5OH → C2H4 + H2O 2C2H5OH → C2H5 – O – C2H5 + H2O The percent conversion of ethanol in the reactor is________________?
