Graphical Method (exercise) – Test 20142015
The liquid-phase isomerization reaction of maleic acid to form fumaric acid takes place in
an ideal batch reactor at 180oC
Cis-HO2CCH=CHCO2H  Trans-HO2CCH=CHCO2H
Maleic Acid  Fumaric Acid
The concentration-time data for maleic acid was obtained as follows:-
CA (mol.dm-3) 1.0 0.95 0.816 0.707 0.5 0.37
t (hr) 0 0.278 1.389 2.78 8.33 16.66

a) Determine the rate law and its parameters with the right unit. (ans: order=2.8)
b) Demonstrate how a flow reactor can be used to determine the rate law
c) Explain how the volume of the batch reactor can be determined.

The irreversible liquid phase isomerization of tetrahydrocyclopentadiene (A)


into adamantane (B) was carried out in a batch reactor and simplified as
AB
The concentration-time data were obtained as in Table 1.
t (min) 0 10 20 30
CA (mol/dm3) 1 0.6 0.4 0.3

a) Develop the rate law of the isomerization reaction using the data given.
b) If the reaction is an elementary reaction, design the batch reactor that
could consume 90 % of 1 mol/dm3 tetrahydrocyclopentadiene. (k=0.053
min-1)
