Optimal Progression of Temperature for Reversible Exothermic Reactions

2 Optimal Progression of Temperature for Reversible Exothermic Reactions 

Consider a reversible first-order reaction A == B. The rate equation for this reaction is 

equilibrium conversion x is favoured by higher temperature for an endothermic reaction and lower temperature for an exothermic reaction. However, the net rate of reaction is always favoured by high temperature for both the exothermic and endothermic 

Optimal progression of temperature for exothermic reversible reaction. 

Inserting the rate Equation 3.104 into Equation 3.110, we have
