Consider the reaction: 2NOBr(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Br2(g)The Kc value for this reaction at a certain temperature is 0.045. A catalyst is added to the reaction mixture that increases the rate of the forward and reverse reactions to the same extent. What effect will this catalyst have on the equilibrium position of the reaction mixture? Justify your answer using calculations.

What is the effect of a catalyst on the equilibrium position of a reaction in which there are unequal numbers of gaseous reactants and gaseous products? Use the chemical equation for the reaction, the initial concentrations of the reactants and products, and the equilibrium constant (Kc) to determine the changes in reaction rate, the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products, and the new value of Kc when a catalyst is introduced.

Design a heat exchanger to cool down a mixture of water and ethylene glycol from 80°C to 20°C using cooling water from a nearby lake that enters at 15°C. The mixture flow rate is 10 L/min, and the desired outlet temperature is 20°C. The heat transfer coefficient for the heat exchanger is 250 W/(m².K) and the overall heat transfer coefficient is to be assumed as 350 W/(m².K). The heat capacity of the mixture is 3.8 kJ/(kg.K) and the density is 1030 kg/m³. Determine: a) the surface area of the heat exchanger required for this process,b) the volume flow rate of cooling water required, and c) the overall heat transfer rate in kW.
