Bromate is a drinking water contaminant that can be formed from bromide during an ozonation process and can subsequently be removed using a biological process. Consider the ozonation process below. Model the ozonation process as a CSTR; bromate formation occurs in this process with a reaction rate constant k=0.2 g/L-min. Write a steady state mass balance on bromate, and calculate Cbromate,2 in g/L.

How does a catalyst increase the speed of a reaction? a. the catalyst eliminates the activated complex stage, allowing products to form immediately. b. the catalyst lowers the energy level of the reactants, making it easier for them to react. c. the catalyst makes it easier for the activated complex to form, lowering the activation energy. d. the catalyst raises the energy level of the products, making the reaction finish sooner. reset next
