Transcript of Lecture 24
Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) is the field that studies the rates and mechanisms of
chemical reactions and the design of the reactors in which they take place.

1. Select a mechanism (Mechanism Dual Site)
Adsorption on Surface: SNSN
Surface Reaction: SSISSN
Desorption: SISI
Treat each reaction step as an elementary reaction when writing rate laws.

2. Assume a rate-limiting step. Choose the surface reaction first, since more than 75% of all heterogenous reactions that are not diffusion-limited are surface-reaction-limited. The rate law for the surface reaction step is

3. Find the expression for concentration of the adsorbed species CI.S. Use the other steps that are not limiting to solve for CI.S (e.g., CN.S and CI.S). For this reaction,

Is this consistent with the given data?-No CO2 in rate law -rate law decreases as PN2 increasesThe contribution of PN2 is very small and can be
neglected
