The formation of orthonitroanaline (an important intermediate in dyescalled fast orange) is formed from the reaction of orthonitrochlorobenzene (ONCB) and aqueous ammonia. (See Table 3-l and Example 13-2.)
The liquid-phase reaction is first order in both ONCB and ammonia with k = 0.0017 m3/kmol · min at 188°C with E = 11 ,273 caVmol. The initial entering concentrations of ONCB and ammonia are 1.6 kmoVm3 and 6.6 kmoVm3, respectively (more on this reaction in Chapter 13).
(a) Write the rate Jaw for the rate of disappearance of ONCB in terms of concentration.
(b) Set up a stoichiometric table for this reaction for a flow system.
(c) Explain how parts (a) and (b) would be different for a batch system.
(d) Write -rA solely as a function of conversion.
(e) What is the initial rate of reaction (X = 0)
(f) What is the rate of reaction when X= 0.90
(g) What would be the corresponding CSTR reactor volume at 25°C to achieve 90% conversion and at 288°C for a feed rate of 2 dm3/min
