community and society.
10. Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-
disciplinary settings.
11. Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long
learning in the broadest context of technological change.
12. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles and apply
these to ones own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

CHAPTER 1
Reaction rate, -rA
What does it tell???
How fast a number of moles of one
chemical species are being
consumed to form another chemical
species (identity).
-
CHAPTER 1
Chemical Identity
Identity of a chemical species is
determined by the kind, number and
configuration of the species atom
C C
H H
CH3 CH3
Cis-2-butene
C C
H
H CH3
CH3
Trans-2-butene
Considered as 2 different species due to the different configuration even when
the numbers of atoms of elements are the same
-
CHAPTER 1
Chemical Identity
A reaction is said to occur when a
species lost its identity and assumed a
new form either by:
Change in the number of atoms in the
compound
Change in structure of the compound
Change in configuration of atoms
-
CHAPTER 1
3 ways of losing chemical identity:
Decomposition
Combination
Isomerisation
Chemical Identity
22233 CHCHHCHCH
NO2ON 22
232252
CHCCHCHCHHC

CHAPTER 1
Reaction rate
Defined as the rate at which a chemical
species reacts (or formed) per unit volume
Expressed as:
Rate of reactant disappearance
Rate of product formation
-
CHAPTER 1
Example:
A B
Rate of reaction is given by:
-rA = rate of disappearance of A
rB = rate of formation of B
For heterogeneous reaction, rate of reaction is
express in terms of catalyst volume or catalyst weight
Reaction rate
-
CHAPTER 1
Reaction rate is an intensive properties depends on concentration, temperature,
pressure, or type of catalyst, present in a
system
Reaction rate is NOT influence by type of
reactor used!!
Reaction rate is expressed as:
-rA = kCAn
NOTE: dCA/dt is not the definition for reaction rate
Reaction rate
-
CHAPTER 1
Reaction rate:
Example: Is NaOH
reacting?
CSTR - operated at steady state; inlet flow rate = outlet flow rate
Perfectly well mixed system; concentration of samples taken at 10 a.m is the same as concentration taken at 5 p.m
Therefore: dCA/dt = 0
Does this mean that -rA = 0; i.e. no reaction occurs?
The answer is NO!
dt
dCr AA
-
CHAPTER 1
For any species A:
rA is the rate of formation of species A per unit
volume [e.g. mol/dm3.s]
rA is a function of concentration, temperature,
pressure, and the type of catalyst (if any)
rA is independent of the type of reactor (batch,
plug flow, etc.)
rA is an algebraic equation, not a differential
equation
