Chapter 10: Catalysis and Catalytic Reactors

Additional Homework Problems

CDP10-WB

  The conversion of buckeyelene (B) to wulfrene (W) and carbon dioxide,

    follows an elementary rate law over fresh catalyst. This gas-phase reaction is carried out in a 1-dm 3 batch reactor filled with 1 kg of fresh catalyst. The catalyst follows a zero-order decay law with a decay constant kd equal to 0.05 min -1 . If the reaction rate constant is 0.01 dm 6 /(kg cat.middotmolmiddotmin) and 10 mol of B is introduced into the batch reactor, what is the conversion after 40 min?
