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? |
