Question

Reactant A is loaded into a batch reactor. The temperature of the reactor is raised to start the first-order irreversible decomposition reaction of A to products.Develop a model for the

transient response of reactant A in the batch reactor. The initial concentration of reactant A in the reactor is c40. The volume of the reactor, V, is fixed. Use the 8 step method to develop the model and solve the differential equation using the characteristic equation method. Use your model to write an equation that predicts how long it takes for 65% of reactant A to decompose.
