Problem 3.4
A 10-minute experimental run shows that 75% of liquid reactant is converted
to product by a half-order rate. What would be the fraction converted in a half-
hour run?
Solution:
For half order decomposition reaction kinetics, simplify rate expression in term
of conversion ‘X’ form is
−𝒓 𝑨 =
𝒅𝑪 𝑨
𝒅𝒕
= 𝒌√ 𝑪 𝑨
Integrate both side
∫ −
𝒅𝑪 𝑨
√ 𝑪 𝑨
= ∫ 𝒌𝒅𝒕

𝑪 𝑨
𝑪 𝑨𝟎
𝟐(√ 𝑪 𝑨𝟎 − √ 𝑪 𝑨) = 𝒌𝒕
We know,
CA = CA0(1 – X)
Above relative becomes
𝟐√ 𝑪
𝑨𝟎
𝟏
𝒌
(𝟏 − √𝟏 − 𝒙) = 𝒕
Here given
X= 0.75 at t = 10min
2
𝟐√ 𝑪
𝑨𝟎
𝟏
𝒌
(𝟏 − √𝟏 − 𝟎. 𝟕𝟓) = 𝟏𝟎 …(𝟏)
Now, conversion in half hour will be
𝟐√ 𝑪
𝑨𝟎
𝟏
𝒌
(𝟏 − √𝟏 − 𝑿) = 𝟑𝟎 … (𝟐)
Solving above equations 1 and 2 we get X is
X = 0.75
Result:
Conversion in half-hour is 75%
