Why do we need to use the energy balance for non-isothermal reactors?

• To calculate reaction rate constant

• To calculate equilibrium constant

• To calculate how pressure changes in the reactor

• To calculate the temperature change due to reaction

• The reactant is completely reacted.

• The reaction reaches equilibrium

• The reactor explodes

• B has a much higher heat capacity than A

Why does RB initially increase before decreasing?

• The reaction quickly reaches equilibrium

• The exothermic forward reaction drives the forward reaction faster

• The volumetric flow rate expands than contracts

• The rising temperature drives the backward reaction faster
