Q#1 Heterogenous Reaction Systems GATE CH 2023 NAT +2 marks -0 marks

Fresh catalyst is loaded into a reactor before the start of the following catalytic reaction.

                                  A → products

The catalyst gets deactivated over time. The instantaneous activity a(t), at time t, is defined as the ratio of the rate of reaction\(-r_A'(t) (mol.(g cat)^{-1} hr^{-1})\)to the rate of reaction with fresh catalyst. Controlled experimental measurements led to an empirical correlation

\(-r_A'(t) = - 0.5t + 10\)

                                 

where t is in hours. The activity of the catalyst at t = 10 hr is______(rounded off to one decimal place).
