It is desired to carry out the gaseous reaction A → B in an existing tubular reactor consisting of 50 parallel tubes 40 ft long with a 0.75-in. inside diameter. Bench-scale experiments have given the reaction rate constant for this first-order reaction as 0.00152 s - 1 at 200 F and 0.0740 s - 1 at 300 F. At what temperature should the reactor be operated to give a conversion of A of 80% with a feed rate of 500 lb m/h of pure A and an operating pressure of 100 psig? A has a molecular weight of 73. Departures from perfect gas behavior may be neglected, and the reverse reaction is insignificant at these conditions.

13. a covalent bond between two atoms is likely to be polar if: a. one of the atoms is much more electronegative than the other. b. the two atoms are equally electronegative. c. the two atoms are of the same element. d. the bond is part of a tetrahedrally shaped molecule. e. one atom is an anion.

Large helium-filled balloons are used to lift scientific equipment to high altitudes. what is the pressure inside such a balloon if it starts out at sea level with a temperature of 10.0ºc and rises to an altitude where its volume is twenty times the original volume and its temperature is – 50.0ºc ?

Answer asap need to be answered by wednesday morning explain how a buffer works, using an ethanoic acid / sodium ethanoate system including how the system resists changes in ph upon addition of a small amount of base and upon addition of a small amount of acid respectively. include the following calculations in your i. calculate the ph of a solution made by mixing 25cm3 0.1m ch3cooh and 40cm3 0.1m ch3coo-na+. [ka = 1.74 x 10-5 m] ii. calculate the ph following the addition of a 10cm3 portion of 0.08 m naoh to 500cm3 of this buffer solution. iii. calculate the ph following the addition of a 10cm3 portion of 0.08 m hcl to 200cm3 of the original buffer solution.
