2.20 The temperature dependence of chemical reactions can be computed with the Arrhenius equation: k= Ae FIRE) where k = reaction rate (s~!), A = the preexponential (or fre- quency) factor, E = activation energy (J/mol), R = gas con- stant [8.314 J/(mole - K)], and T, = absolute temperature (K). Acompound has E = 1 x 10° J/mol and A = 7 x 101°. Use MATLAB to generate values of reaction rates for temperatures ranging from 253 to 325 K. Use subplot to generate a side-by-side graph of (a) k versus T, (green line) and (b) logy k (red line) versus 1/T,. Employ the semi logy function to create (b). Include axis labels and titles for both subplots. Interpret your results.5.12 Areversible chemical reaction 2A+B_ C « can be characterized by the equilibrium relationship Ce ~ C2cp where the nomenclature c; represents the concentration of con- stituent ¢. Suppose that we define a variable x as representing the number of moles of C that are produced. Conservation of mass can be used to reformulate the equilibrium relationship as (cc0 +2) (a,0 — 2x)? (b,0 = ) where the subscript 0 designates the initial concentration of each constituent. If K = 0.016, cy = 42, ¢yy = 28, and C.9 = 4. determine the value of x. (a) Obtain the solution graphically. (b) On the basis of (a), solve for the root with initial guesses of x, = Oand x, = 20 toe, = 0.5%. Choose either bisection or false position to obtain your solution. Justify your choice.6.14 In a chemical engineering process, water vapor (H2O) is heated to sufficiently high temperatures that a significant portion of the water dissociates, or splits apart, to form oxy- gen (Oy) and hydrogen (Hp): HO 2 Hp + $02 If it is assumed that this is the only reaction involved, the mole fraction x of H2O that dissociates can be represented by (P6.14.1) where K is the reaction’s equilibrium constant and p; is the total pressure of the mixture. If py = 3 atm and K = 0.05, determine the value of x that satisfies Eq. (P6.14.1).
