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.

Where KA = 4 atm–1 and KC = 6 atm–1
1) At what is the ratio of sites with A adsorbed to those sites with C
adsorbed when the conversion is 50%?
2) What is the conversion when the sites with A adsorbed are equal
to those with C adsorbed?

The 5 steps
1. Postulate Mechanism
(sometimes first includes a gas phase reaction (then
adsorption, surface reaction and desorption)
2. Postulate Rate Limiting Step
3. Evaluate Parameters in Terms of Measured Variables
4. Surface Area Balance
5. Evaluate Rate Law Parameters
