| 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. molmin) and 10 mol of B is introduced into the batch reactor,
what is the conversion after 40 min?
