Question
The elementary reversible gas phase reaction A+ 2B is to be carried out isothermally (250 °C)
and at constant pressure in a variable batch reactor. Initially pure A is present at a concentration
of 0.01 mol/dm'. Set up the equation (all constant values and limits shown) to solve for the
time it will take to reach 85% of the equilibrium conversion of A at 250 °C.
