When done in batch mode industrial scale reations reactants


When done in batch mode, industrial scale reations reactants are commonly heated in the reaction vessel until kinetic calculations indicate the 99% of the reactants have been consumed. In the esterification reaction of methanol with acetic acid the reaction follows second order kinetics. If at 69 degrees C the rate constant for the reaction is .0035 L mol-1s-1 and the intitial concentrations of both the methanol and the acidic acid are 7.0 mol L-1. How long should the batch of reactants be maintained at 69 degrees C to ensure 99% reaction?
