Demonstrates how to use a digital experiment that uses a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) to measure the rate of reaction for the aqueous-phase reaction
CH3COOCH3 + NaOH → CH3COONa + CH3OH
Uses a mass balance to determine the rate of reaction. This digital experiment is located at learncheme.com/simulations/mass-energy-balances/material-balances-on-a-cstr-wide
Made by faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder, Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering.
