Question

3. The following reaction is to be carried out in the liquid phase in semi-batch mode: NaOH + CH3COOC₂H5-CH3COONa+ + C₂H5OH There is a feed rate of 0.2 L/s of NaOH

solution (0.2 M) added to 1200 L of ethyl acetate solution (0.25 M) at a temperature of 35 °C. The rate constant k = 5.2 ×10-5 m³/mol/sec at 20 °C with E = 42,810 J/mol. Plot reaction rate, concentration of reactants and products, and number of moles of sodium acetate as a function of time. Another problem you'll want to set up in a numerical solver. You'll also need to define your equations in terms of molar flow rates instead of conversion (which won't work for a semibatch reactor)
