TUTORIAL: DATA ANALYSIS AND RATE LAW PARAMETERS

1. The irreversible liquid-phase reaction

A B+C

is carried out in a batch reactor. The following data were collected


during the course of the reaction:

Assume a rate law of the form

-rA = kCAα

Integrate the equation for the combined mole balance and rate law and then determine α and k.
Determine the rate law parameter using methods to differentiate your data.

(a) Graphical technique-equal area differentiation. (Use O's to represent these points on
any graphs you make.)
(b) Numerical technique-differentiation formulas. (Use ∆'s to represent these points on any
graph you make.)
(c) Differentiating a polynomial (use x for these points).
