Chemical Reaction Engineering MCQ Questions & Answers | Chemical Engineering

A CSTR is to be designed in which an exothermic liquid phase first order reaction of the type, A → R, is taking place. The reactor is to be provided with a jacket in which coolant is flowing. Following data is given: C_A0= 5 kmole/m³; X_A = 0.5; Feed temperature = reactor temperature = 40°C. Rate constant at 40°C = 1 min^-1; (ΔH) = -40 kJ/mole; ρ = 1000 kg/m³ C_P = 4 J/gm.°C; q = 10^-3 m³/min (ρ and C_P are same for the reactant and product streams). The amount of heat to be removed is

In an exothermic reaction, the energy of the reacting substances as compared to that of products is

Reaction rate of a first order reaction, which is half completed in 23 minutes will be

The effect of increasing pressure on the gaseous equilibrium of the reaction 2X+3Y ⇋ 3X+2Y indicates that

For the chemical reaction P → Q, it is found that the rate of reaction doubles as the concentration of 'P' is doubled. If the reaction rate is proportional to C_pⁿ, then what is the value of 'n' for this chemical reaction
