The reaction A → B is conducted in an isothermal batch reactor. If the conversion of A increases linearly with holding time, then the order of the reaction is __________________?
Correct answer: A. 0
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 1.5
- D. 2
Explanation
In a batch reactor, a linear increase of conversion with time means dX/dt is constant. Since dX/dt = kCA0^n(1-X)^n, this is characteristic of a zero-order reaction.
