horsepower

Power may be measured in a unit called the horsepower. One horsepower is the amount of work a horse can do in 1 minute, which equals 745 watts of power.

A chemistry student wants to measure the rate of a chemical reaction. The reaction involves the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The student weighed out 0.5 grams of zinc and mixed it with 50 mL of 0.5 M hydrochloric acid. The student measured the time it took for the reaction to complete and found it took 3 minutes to produce all the hydrogen gas. Calculate the rate of the reaction in grams of zinc per minute.

Design a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) for the exothermic reaction of A + B → C with a rate constant of 0.05 L/mol/min. The reactor should produce a minimum of 500 g of C per minute, while maintaining a conversion of at least 90%. The feedstream of A and B is available with a flow rate of 2 L/min and an initial concentration of 1 M for both reactants. The reactor should be operated at a temperature of 50°C and a pressure of 1 atm. What should be the volume of the CSTR and the flow rate of the cooling medium used to maintain the desired temperature?

Design a chemical reactor for the synthesis of ammonia via the Haber process. The reactor should operate at a pressure of 200 atm and a temperature of 450°C. Assume a feed of nitrogen and hydrogen gases at a ratio of 1:3, with a flow rate of 10 moles per minute. Determine the size of the reactor and select a suitable catalyst for the reaction.
