How to access 1) A first-order, heterogeneous, irreversible reaction is taking place within a catalyst pore 2 points
the portal which is plated with platinum entirely along the length of the pore (Figure below). The reactant
concentration at the plane of symmetry (i.e., equal distance from the pore mouths) of the pore is equal
Week 1 to one-tenth the concentration of the pore mouth. Assuming that the concentration at the pore mouth
is CAS , the pore length is 2L. The dimensionless concentration (ψ ) is given by
