Chemical Reaction Engineering
The conversion for a first order liquid phase reaction. A → B in a CSTR is 50%. If another CSTR of the same volume is connected in series, then the % conversion at the exit of the second reactor will be
Free energy of activation is lowered in the presence of catalyst, which remains unchanged at the end of reaction
A relatively small amount of catalyst can cause the conversion of large amount of reactants which does not mean that catalyst concentration is important
The catalyst does not form an intermediate complex with the reactant
The surface of the catalyst does not play an important role during reaction
