  • What is the difference between Integral Selectivity and differential selectivity?

    Integral selectivity compares the selectivity of a overall mass of a substance (macroscopic) in a reaction and differential selectivity compares the selectivity of a nett mass production rate of a reaction
  • What does Yield mean in a chemical reaction?

    Yield refers to the amount of product obtained from a reaction.and evaluates efficiency of a reaction.
  • What does the residence time mean in a (model) reactor?

    In a reactor, residence time refers to how long reactants stay in the reaction vessel.
    • It influences conversion and yield of products.
    • Calculated by dividing volume of the reactor by flow rate.
    • Longer residence times allow more time for reactions to occur.
    • Essential for designing and operating the reactor efficiently.
  • Why do we need reaction kinetcis for chemical reaction?

    Understanding reaction kinetics is crucial for several reasons:
    • Determines reaction rates.
    • Helps in predicting product formation.
    • Optimizes industrial processes.
    .
  • Why do we need a mass/molar balances for chemical reactions?

    Mass/molar balances are essential for:
    • Determining reactants and products amounts
    • Ensuring conservation of mass
    • Optimizing reactions for efficiency
    • Analyzing processes and yields
  • What does chemical equilibrium mean?

    At equilibrium the foward and backward reaction are equally fast; the net conversion rate equals zero.
  • What is the unit of k in 2nd order reaction?

    m3/mole*s
  • What is the unit of k in zero order reaction?

    Mole/m3*s
  • What is the unit of k in the n-th order reaction?

    m^3(n-1) * mole^-(n-1) * s^-1
  • What is the (standard) formula of a balance

    Accumulation = in - out + production
