    Question 1

    A mixture of 30% of C2H4 and 70% of air is charged to a flow reactor

    C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O

    The above reaction is conducted at initial temperature of 250°C and partial pressure of O2 at 3.0 atm.
    From prior study, it was determined that the reaction is first order with respect to C2H4 and zero order
    with respect to O2. Given the value of rate constant at 100 °C is 0.2 dm3/mol.s with activation energy of
    12.80 kJ/mol. Calculate the reaction rate for the above reaction if 60% of C2H4 was consumed during
    the reaction. (Assume the air contains 79 mole% of N2 and the balance O2).
    (13 marks)

    Question 2

    The elementary gas phase reaction

    C2H6 → C2H4 + H2
    is carried out isothermally in a constant volume of batch reactor. From prior study, it was determined
    that the activation energy of the reaction is 25.0 kJ/mol with the frequency factor of 0.485 min-1. Given
    the initial concentration of pure ethane (C2H6) is 5.0 M.

    a) Determine the rate constant for the reaction if 80 % of ethylene (C2H4) gas was formed within 48.0
    minutes of reaction time.
    (7 marks)
    b) Determine the reaction temperature in Kelvin (K) for the above reaction.
    (3 marks)

    Question 3

    The elementary decomposition of pure nitrous oxide reaction

    2N2O → 2N2 + O2

    was conducted at temperature 895 °C and total pressure of 1 atm with feed flow rate of 2.32 dm3/s.
    From a prior study, it was determined that the value of rate constant is 0.98 dm3/mol.s at temperature
    725 °C. Given the activation energy for decomposition reaction is 85 kJ/mol.

    a) Calculate the size of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) required to decompose 90% of
    the nitrous oxide.
    (11 marks)
    b) Calculate the volume of the reactor if the reaction is carried out in Plug Flow Reactor (PFR).
