When a reaction proceeds with the retention of configuration, the optical activity of the product will remain same as that of the original reactant.

When a reaction proceeds with the retention of configuration, the optical activity of the product will remain same as that of the original reactant. Correct Answer False

For example, when (-)-2-methylbutan-1-ol is heated with conc. HCl, the product formed is (+)-1-chloro-2-methylbutane, which has opposite optical behaviour to that of the reactant.

First—pass (or one pass) retention is often separated into various sub-categories of total solids including fibre retention, fines retention, and ash (i.e., filler) retention.
Rate constant for a first order reaction does not depend upon reaction time, extent of reaction and the initial concentration of reactants ; but it is a function of reaction temperature. In a chemical reaction, the time required to reduce the concentration of reactant from 100 gm moles/litre to 50 gm moles/litre is same as that required to reduce it from 2 gm moles/litre to 1 gm mole/litre in the same volume. Then the order of this reaction is
The reaction between ethylene and hydrogen bromide to form ethyl bromide is carried out in a continuous reactor. C2H4 + HBr = C2H5Br The product stream is analyzed and found to contain 51.7 mole% C2H5Br and 17.3% HBr. The feed to the reactor contains only ethylene and hydrogen bromide. Calculate the fractional conversion of the limiting reactant and the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess. If the molar flow rate of the feed stream is 165 mol/s, what is the extent of reaction?
In a batch process, the reaction takes place in the presence of an acid medium. The acid is drained from the reaction vessel at the rate of 15ml/s as a result of the density difference of the acid from the reacting component. To avoid wastage of acid, it is recycled to an acid tank which has 1000 L capacity. The acid drained from the reaction vessel, picks up 50 g/L solids from the reactor. Acid is fed once again to the process from acid tank. When the process is started, the acid is almost pure in the tank as a result of filtration. As the reaction proceeds, acid in the tank gets more and more contaminated with the solids. The concentration of the solids should not exceed 100 g/L from the process point of view. The batch time is 16h. Estimate whether the concentration of the solids will exceed 100g/L during the batch reaction.
