Batch reactors are used primarily to determine rate law parameters for homogeneous reactions. This determination is usually achieved by measuring concentration as a function of time and then using either the differential, integral, or least squares method of data analysis to determine the reaction order, a, and specific reaction rate, k. If some reaction parameter other than concentration is monitored, such as pressure, the mole balance must be rewritten in terms of the measured variable (e.g., pressure).
