Extracted text: "2.36. The following reactions take place in a batch reactor: A +B → C (desired product) B+ C → D (hazardous product) As the reaction proceeds, D builds up in the reactor and could cause an explosion if its concentration exceeds 15 mol/L. To ensure the safety of the plant personnel, the reaction is quenched (e.g., by cooling the reactor contents to a low temperature) and the products are extracted when the concentration of D reaches 10 mol/L. The concentration of C is measured in real-time, and samples are periodically taken and analyzed to determine the concentration of D. The data are shown below: Cc (mol/L) Cp (mol/L) 2.8 1.4 10 2.27 20 2.95 40 3.84 70 4.74 110 5.63 160 6.49 220 7.32 a. What would be the general form of an expression for Cp as a function of Cc? b. Derive the expression. c. At what concentration of C is the reactor stopped? Answer d. Someone proposed not stopping the reaction until Cp = 13 mol/L, and someone else strongly objected. What would be the major arguments for and against that proposal? 2.37. WP The vapor pressures of 1-chlorotetradecane at several temperatures are tabulated here. T(°C) 98.5 131.8 148.2 166.2 199.8 215.5 p* (mm Hg) 5 10 20 б0 100 a. Use two-point linear interpolation to estimate the value of p* at T = 185°C. b. Suppose you only know the data at 98.5°C and 215.5°C. Use two-point linear interpolation to estimate the vapor pressure at
