Refer to Q5 and Q6, and estimate that whether 75°C is desirable to operate?(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me in an online quiz.Question is taken from Basic Reaction Theory topic in chapter Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Right OPTION is (a) True

Easy explanation: K in 50°C is 0.98 and K in 75°C is 1.15.As K increases, the fraction of fructose in the equilibrium mixture increases. Therefore, from an equilibrium POINT of view, it is more DESIRABLE to operate the reactor at 75°C. HOWEVER, other factors such as ENZYME deactivation at high temperatures should also be considered.
