A. In a first order reaction, A → products; the reaction becomes slower as it proceeds, because
the concentration of A decreases and the rate is proportional to the concentration of A
B. Transition state theory approaches the problem of calculating reaction rates by concentrating
on the idea of activated complexes
C. According to the penetration theory, the mass transfer co-efficient decreases, if the exposure
time of an eddy to the solute decreases
D. If the rate of an irreversible reaction, A + B → 2C is k.CA.CB, then the reaction is always
elementary

A pollutant P degrades according to first order kinetics. An aqueous stream containing P at 2 kmole/m3 and volumetric flow rate 1m3 /h requires a mixed flow reactor of volume V to bring down the pollutant level to 0.5 kmole/m3. The inlet concentration of the pollutant is now doubled and the volumetric flow rate is tripled. If the pollutant level is to be brought down to the same level of 0.5 k.mole/m3, the volume of the mixed flow reactor should be increased by a factor of_______________?
