The admission ticket for an exhibition bears a password which is changed after every clock hour based on set of words chosen for each day. The following is an illustration of the code and steps of rearrangement for subsequent clock hours. The time is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Day's first password : First Batch ----- 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. is not ready cloth simple harmony burning Second Batch ----- 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. ready not is cloth burning harmony simple Third Batch ----- 11 a.m. to 12 noon cloth is not ready simple harmony burning Fourth Batch ----- 12 noon to 1 p.m. not is cloth ready burning harmony simple Fifth Batch ----- 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. ready cloth is not simple harmony burning and so on.

In a batch process, the reaction takes place in the presence of an acid medium. The acid is drained from the reaction vessel at the rate of 15ml/s as a result of the density difference of the acid from the reacting component. To avoid wastage of acid, it is recycled to an acid tank which has 1000 L capacity. The acid drained from the reaction vessel, picks up 50 g/L solids from the reactor. Acid is fed once again to the process from acid tank. When the process is started, the acid is almost pure in the tank as a result of filtration. As the reaction proceeds, acid in the tank gets more and more contaminated with the solids. The concentration of the solids should not exceed 100 g/L from the process point of view. The batch time is 16h. Estimate whether the concentration of the solids will exceed 100g/L during the batch reaction.

A

37.04 h

B

30.05 h

C

36.04 h

D

32.05 h

Rate constant for a first order reaction does not depend upon reaction time, extent of reaction and the initial concentration of reactants ; but it is a function of reaction temperature. In a chemical reaction, the time required to reduce the concentration of reactant from 100 gm moles/litre to 50 gm moles/litre is same as that required to reduce it from 2 gm moles/litre to 1 gm mole/litre in the same volume. Then the order of this reaction is
