Chemical Reaction Engineering
Rate constant for a first order reaction does not depend upon reaction time, extent of reaction and the initial concentration of reactants ; but it is a function of reaction temperature. In a chemical reaction, the time required to reduce the concentration of reactant from 100 gm moles/litre to 50 gm moles/litre is same as that required to reduce it from 2 gm moles/litre to 1 gm mole/litre in the same volume. Then the order of this reaction is
There is no dynamic equilibrium between successive layer
The adsorbed layer may be polymolecular in thickness and the heat of adsorption in each layer (except the first one) is involved in each of the evaporation process
