ABSTRACT

The term exp represents the fraction of all collisions having energy

Problem 5.2:

Sucrose (C

H

O

) reacts with excess H

O (l) (called the hydrolysis of sucrose) to produce glucose (C

H

O

). What is the approximate order of the reaction if you assume the reaction to be elementary? What is the heat of reaction? (In case the heat of formation is not available, use the Boie equation.)

Problem 5.3:

Consider a high-temperature reactor that is supplied with O

molecules and O atoms. The following reactions can occur:

Write an expression for the net production of O
